Thanks, I moved back to crush-compat mapping, the pool that was at "90% full" is now under 76% full.
Before doing that, I had the automatic balancer off, and ran 'ceph balancer optimize test'. It ran for 12 hours before I killed it. In upmap mode, it was "balanced" or at least as balanced as it could get. crush-compat seems to be much more flexible, and more useful in my situation. -- Adam On Wed, Sep 11, 2019 at 10:04 PM Konstantin Shalygin <k0...@k0ste.ru> wrote: > > We're using Nautilus 14.2.2 (upgrading soon to 14.2.3) on 29 CentOS osd > servers. > > We've got a large variation of disk sizes and host densities.
