Well, that's the question...is that safe? Because the link to the mailing list post (possibly outdated) says that what you just suggested is definitely NOT safe. Is the mailing list post wrong? Has the situation changed? Exactly what does ceph repair do now? I suppose I could go dig into the code but I'm not an expert and would hate to get it wrong and post possibly bogus info the the list for other newbies to find and worry about and possibly lose their data.
