Hi,
As far as I know Ceph won't attempt to do any weight modifications. If
you use the default CRUSH map, every devices get a default weight of
1. However this value can be modified while the cluster runs. Simply
update the CRUSH map like so:
# ceph osd crush reweight {name} {weight}
If you need more input, have a look at the documentation ;-)

Cheers,
