Hi Alexander, that sounds pretty promising to me. I've checked bluestore_min_alloc_size and most 1370 OSDs have value 65536. You mentioned: "You will have to do that weekly until you redeploy all OSDs that were created with 64K bluestore_min_alloc_size" Is it the only way to approach this, t

Hi, I would expect that almost every PG in the cluster is going to have to move once you start standardizing CRUSH weights, and I wouldn't want to move data twice. My plan would look something like: - Make sure the cluster is healthy (no degraded PGs) - Set nobackfill, norebalance flags to pr

Hi Denis, My approach would be: 1. Run "ceph osd metadata" and see if you have a mix of 64K and 4K bluestore_min_alloc_size. If so, you cannot really use the built-in balancer, as it would result in a bimodal distribution instead of a proper balance, see https://tracker.ceph.com/issues/64715, but
