+Exiting Stretch Mode
+=====================
+To exit stretch mode, run the following command:
+
+.. prompt:: bash $
+
+ ceph mon disable_stretch_mode [{crush_rule}] --yes-i-really-mean-it
+
+
+.. describe:: {crush_rule}
+
+ The CRUSH rule that the user wants all pools to move back to. If this
+ is not specified, the pools will move back to the default CRUSH rule.
+
+ :Type: String
+ :Required: No.
+
+The command will move the cluster back to normal mode,
+and the cluster will no longer be in stretch mode.
+All pools will move its ``size`` and ``min_size``
+back to the default values it started with.
+At this point the user is responsible for scaling down the cluster
+to the desired number of OSDs if they choose to operate with less number of OSDs.
+
+Please note that the command will not execute when the cluster is in
+``recovery stretch mode``. The command will only execute when the cluster
+is in ``degraded stretch mode`` or ``healthy stretch mode``.
+
Limitations of Stretch Mode
===========================
When using stretch mode, OSDs must be located at exactly two sites.
