Hi. Fresh cluster - after a dance where the autoscaler did not work (returned black) as described in the doc - I now seemingly have it working. It has bumpted target to something reasonable -- and is slowly incrementing pg_num and pgp_num by 2 over time (hope this is correct?) But . jskr@dkcphhpcmgt028:/$ sudo ceph osd pool ls detail | grep 62 pool 22 'cephfs.archive.ec62data' erasure profile ecprof62 size 8 min_size 7 crush_rule 3 object_hash rjenkins pg_num 150 pgp_num 22 pg_num_target 512 pgp_num_target 512 autoscale_mode on last_change 9159 lfor 0/0/9147 flags hashpspool,ec_overwrites,selfmanaged_snaps,bulk stripe_width 24576 pg_num_min 128 target_size_ratio 0.4 application cephfs pg_num = 150 pgp_num = 22 and setting pgp_num seemingly have zero effect on the system .. not even with autoscaling set to off. jskr@dkcphhpcmgt028:/$ sudo ceph osd pool set cephfs.archive.ec62data pg_autoscale_mode off set pool 22 pg_autoscale_mode to off jskr@dkcphhpcmgt028:/$ sudo ceph osd pool set cephfs.archive.ec62data pgp_num 150 set pool 22 pgp_num to 150 jskr@dkcphhpcmgt028:/$ sudo ceph osd pool set cephfs.archive.ec62data pg_num_min 128 set pool 22 pg_num_min to 128 jskr@dkcphhpcmgt028:/$ sudo ceph osd pool set cephfs.archive.ec62data pg_num 150 set pool 22 pg_num to 150 jskr@dkcphhpcmgt028:/$ sudo ceph osd pool set cephfs.archive.ec62data pg_autoscale_mode on set pool 22 pg_autoscale_mode to on jskr@dkcphhpcmgt028:/$ sudo ceph progress PG autoscaler increasing pool 22 PGs from 150 to 512 (14s) [............................] jskr@dkcphhpcmgt028:/$ sudo ceph osd pool ls detail | grep 62 pool 22 'cephfs.archive.ec62data' erasure profile ecprof62 size 8 min_size 7 crush_rule 3 object_hash rjenkins pg_num 150 pgp_num 22 pg_num_target 512 pgp_num_target 512 autoscale_mode on last_change 9159 lfor 0/0/9147 flags hashpspool,ec_overwrites,selfmanaged_snaps,bulk stripe_width 24576 pg_num_min 128 target_size_ratio 0.4 application cephfs pgp_num != pg_num ? In earlier versions of ceph (without autoscaler) I have only experienced that setting pg_num and pgp_num took immidiate effect?
