h2. Change speed for i/o recovery
By default we want to keep I/O recovery traffic low to not impact customer experience. However when multiple disks fail at the same point, we might want to prioritise recover for data safety over performance.
The default configuration on our servers contains:
<pre>
[osd]
osd max backfills = 1
osd recovery max active = 1
osd recovery op priority = 2
</pre>
The important settings are *osd max backfills* and *osd recovery max active*, the priority is always kept low so that regular I/O has priority.
