Hi all,

We have a ceph cluster that being used as a backing store for several VMs 
(windows and linux). We notice that when we reboot a node, the cluster enters a 
degraded state (which is expected), but when it begins to recover, it starts 
backfilling and it kills the performance of our VMs. The VMs run slow, or not 
at all, and also seem to switch it's ceph mounts to read-only. I was wondering 
2 things:


  1.  Shouldn't we be recovering instead of backfilling? It seems like 
backfilling is much more intensive operation
  2.  Can we improve the recovery/backfill performance so that our VMs don't go 
down when there is a problem with the cluster?
