I had not cleaned up all of the old data on one of the devices. On the reconfigured system the object replicator encountered partitions on that uncleaned device, in the /srv/node/<device>/objects directory, from the old configuration and so some of the partitions
encountered in that directory were greater than expected with the newer/smaller ring. As a result the object-replicator could not translate the larger partition to a device id and blew up (producing the backtrace).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
