## Hi, While I was having the issue with OSD down, I noticed the following output from ceph -s about PG status: pgs: 22.08% pgs not active 214/645 objects degraded 254 active+undersized 97 active+clean 61 down 41 undersized+peered 23 active+undersized+degraded 4 undersized+degraded

I guess degraded meant that it does not have all replicas available (eg. 2 out of 3 available)…  
What does undersized mean?  
What does peered mean?  
Thank you very much,  
Theeraphong T.

Here is a good definition of peering from the ceph documentation: [https://ceph.readthedocs.io/en/latest/rados/operations/monitoring-osd-pg/#peering](https://ceph.readthedocs.io/en/latest/rados/operations/monitoring-osd-pg/#peering). I am still researching undersized.
