+========================
+ Placement Group States
+========================
+
+When checking a cluster's status (e.g., running ``ceph -w`` or ``ceph -s``), 
+Ceph will report on the status of the placement groups. A placement group has 
+one or more states. The optimum state for placement groups in the placement group
+map is ``active + clean``. 
+
+*Creating*
+  Ceph is still creating the placement group.
+
+*Active*
+  Ceph will process requests to the placement group.
+
+*Clean*
+  Ceph replicated all objects in the placement group the correct number of times.
+
+*Down*
+  A replica with necessary data is down, so the placement group is offline.
+
+*Scrubbing*
+  Ceph is checking the placement group for inconsistencies.
+
+*Degraded*
+  Ceph has not replicated some objects in the placement group the correct number of times yet.
+
+*Inconsistent*
+  Ceph detects inconsistencies in the one or more replicas of an object in the placement group
+  (e.g. objects are the wrong size, objects are missing from one replica *after* recovery finished, etc.).
+
+*Peering*
+  The placement group is undergoing the peering process
+
+*Repair*
+  Ceph is checking the placement group and repairing any inconsistencies it finds (if possible).
+
+*Recovering*
+  Ceph is migrating/synchronizing objects and their replicas.
+
+*Forced-Recovery*
+  High recovery priority of that PG is enforced by user.
+
+*Backfill*
+  Ceph is scanning and synchronizing the entire contents of a placement group
+  instead of inferring what contents need to be synchronized from the logs of
+  recent operations. *Backfill* is a special case of recovery.
+
+*Forced-Backfill*
+  High backfill priority of that PG is enforced by user.
+
+*Wait-backfill*
+  The placement group is waiting in line to start backfill.
+
+*Backfill-toofull*
+  A backfill operation is waiting because the destination OSD is over its
+  full ratio.
+
+*Incomplete*
+  Ceph detects that a placement group is missing information about
+  writes that may have occurred, or does not have any healthy
+  copies. If you see this state, try to start any failed OSDs that may
+  contain the needed information. In the case of an erasure coded pool
+  temporarily reducing min_size may allow recovery.
+
+*Stale*
+  The placement group is in an unknown state - the monitors have not received
+  an update for it since the placement group mapping changed.
+
+*Remapped*
+  The placement group is temporarily mapped to a different set of OSDs from what
+  CRUSH specified.
+
+*Undersized*
+  The placement group fewer copies than the configured pool replication level.
+
+*Peered*
+  The placement group has peered, but cannot serve client IO due to not having
+  enough copies to reach the pool's configured min_size parameter.  Recovery
+  may occur in this state, so the pg may heal up to min_size eventually.
