How did you read the first email where he described how 3 copies was not
enough, wanting to perhaps go to 4 copies
to make sure he is not putting data at risk?

The effect you describe is technically correct, it will allow writes to
pass, but it would also go 100% against what ceph tries to do here, retain
the data even while doing planned maintenance, even while getting
unexpected downtime.

Setting min_size=1 means you don't care at all for your data, and that you
will be placing it under extreme risks.

Not only will that single copy be a danger, but you can easily get into a
situation where your singlecopy-write gets accepted and then that drive
gets destroyed, and the cluster will know the latest writes ended up on it,
and even getting the two older copies back will not help, since it has
already registered that somewhere there is a newer version. For a single
object, reverting to older (if possible) isn't all that bad, but for a
section in the middle of a VM drive, that could mean total disaster.

There are lots of people losing data with 1 copy, lots of posts on how
repl_size=2, min_size=1 lost data for people using ceph, so I think posting
advice to that effect goes against what ceph is good for.

Not that I think the original poster would fall into that trap, but others
might find this post later and think that it would be a good solution to
maximize risk while adding/rebuilding 100s of OSDs. I don't agree.
