Dear Rainer, hmm, maybe the option is ignored or not implemented properly. This option set to true should have the same effect as reducing min_size *except* that new writes will not go to non-redundant storage. When reducing min-size, a critically degraded PG will accept new writes, which is the danger of data-loss mentioned before and avoided if only recovery ops are allowed on such PGs.
Can you open a tracker about your observation that reducing min-size was necessary and helped despite osd_allow_recovery_below_min_size=true?
