well that is a very interesting statistic. Where do you come up with the 30GB partition size limit number?
I believe it is using 28GB SSD per HDD disk :-/ So you are implying that if I "throw away" 1/8 of my HDDs, so that I can get that magic number 30GB+ per HDD, things will magically be improved? Before I do that kind of rework, I would like to better understand the theory behind that please :)
I vaguely recall reading something about WAL, ssd, and " db mostly". I believe there is some way to check the status of that, but google search is being difficult without a more specific search term.

as a side issue, i do not know how cephadm would configure the 2 x 100 GB SSDs for wal/db serving the 8 HDDs, you need over 30 GB partition size else it would result in db mostly on slow HDDs.

I do not believe you are currently being slowed by this yet, else your cluster will show a "WARN: BlueFS spillover detected" but it will eventually happen as you write more and your db expands.
