Previously, there was a bug where if an extent had greater durability than required (because we needed to move a durability=1 pointer and ended up putting it on a durability 2 device), we would submit a write for replicas=2 - the durability of the pointer being rewritten - instead of the number of replicas required to bring it back up to the data_replicas option. This, plus the allocation path sometimes allocating on a greater durability device than requested, meant that extents could continue having more and more replicas added as they were being rewritten.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
