Hi Casper, Thank you for the response, problem is solved now. After some searching, it turned out to be that after Luminous, setting mon_osd_backfillfull_ratio and mon_osd_nearfull_ratio do not take effect anymore. This is because these settings are being read from the OSD map and the commands "ceph osd set-nearfull-ratio" and "ceph osd set-backfillfull-ratio" are used to change them.
This was verified by running "ceph osd dunp|head" all ratios were still 0.92 and 0.95...etc. When Setting them to 0.85 the flags started to work normally and we were able to control our cluster in a better way. Moreover, setting the backfillfull ratio lower than near full ration would show a HEALH_ERR out of order flags. Therefore, we set them to the same number for now and started reweighting to rebalance the cluster The backfillfull ones actually prevent data movement to them and data was moved to other OSDs with more free space. Nevertheless some PG got stuck and backfill_too_full was flagged. at the end those we reweighted and all restored to normal. Finally we set the backfullfull ratio to be higher than the nearfull ratio. END OF STORY.
