Hello list,

We have a Ceph cluster (v17.2.6 quincy) with 3 admin nodes and 6 storage nodes, 
each connected to a JBOD enclosure. Each enclosure houses 28 HDD disks of size 
18 TB, totaling 168 OSDs. The pool that houses the majority of the data is 
erasure-coded (4+2). We have recently had one disk failure, which brought one 
OSD down:

# ceph osd tree | grep down
  2    hdd    16.49579          osd.2         down         0  1.00000

This OSD is out of the cluster, but we haven't replaced it physically yet. The 
problem that we are facing is that the cluster was not in the best shape when 
this OSD failed. Currently we have the following:

################

  io:
    recovery: 703 MiB/s, 281 objects/s

  progress:
    Global Recovery Event (6w)
      [=========================...] (remaining: 5d)
################

I have noticed the number of active+clean increasing, and objects misplaced 
very slowly decreasing. My question is, should I wait until recovery is 
complete, repair the 18 damaged pg, and then replace the disk? My thinking is 
that replacing the disk will trigger more backfilling which will slow down the 
recovering even more.

Another question, should I disable scrubbing while the recovery is not 
finalized?

Thank you for any insights you may be able to provide!
