I ran the test on the Ceph pool, and ran atop on all 4 storage servers, as
suggested.

Out of the 4 servers:
3 of them performed with 17% to 30% disk %busy, and 11% CPU wait.
Momentarily spiking up to 50% on one server, and 80% on another
The 2nd newest server was almost averaging 90% disk %busy and 150% CPU
wait. And more than momentarily spiking to 101% disk busy and 250% CPU wait.
For this 2nd newest server, this was the statistics for about 8 of 9 disks,
with the 9th disk not far behind the others.

I cannot believe all 9 disks are bad
They are the same disks as the newest 1st server, Crucial_CT960M500SSD1,
and same exact server hardware too.
They were purchased at the same time in the same purchase order and arrived
at the same time.
So I cannot believe I just happened to put 9 bad disks in one server, and 9
good ones in the other.

I know I have Ceph configured exactly the same on all servers
And I am sure I have the hardware settings configured exactly the same on
the 1st and 2nd servers.
So if I were someone else, I would say it maybe is bad hardware on the 2nd
server.
But the 2nd server is running very well without any hint of a problem.

Any other ideas or suggestions?
