Thanks interesting to read. So in luminous it is not really a problem. I 
was expecting to get into trouble with the monitors/mds. Because my 
failover takes quite long, and thought it was related to the damaged pg

Luminous: "When the past intervals tracking structure was rebuilt around 
exactly the information required, it became extremely compact and 
relatively insensitive to extended periods of cluster unhealthiness"

See https://ceph.com/community/new-luminous-pg-overdose-protection
under "Problems with past intervals"

"if the cluster becomes unhealthy, and especially if it remains 
unhealthy for an extended period of time, a combination of effects can 
cause problems."

"If a cluster is unhealthy for an extended period of time (e.g., days or 
even weeks), the past interval set can become large enough to require a 
significant amount of memory."
