Dear all,
We have a ceph cluster where we are have configured two SSD only pools in order to use
them as cache tier for the spinning discs. Altogether there are 27 SSDs organized on 9
hosts distributed in 3 chassis. The hierarchy looks like this:
$ ceph osd df tree | grep -E 'ssd|ID'

The rule used for the two pools is the following:
{
"rule_id": 1,
"rule_name": "ssd",
"ruleset": 1,
"type": 1,
"min_size": 1,
"max_size": 10,
"steps": [
{
"op": "take",
"item": -40,
"item_name": "ssd-root"
},
{
"op": "chooseleaf_firstn",
"num": 0,
"type": "chassis"
},
{
"op": "emit"
}
]
}
both pools have the size 3, and the total number of PGs is 768 (256+512).
As you can see from the previous table (the PG column) there is a significant difference
between the OSD with the largest number of PGs (101PGs on osd.118) and the ones with the
smallest number (76 PGs on osd.123). The ratio between the two is 1.32. So OSD 118 has
more chances to receive data then OSD 123, and we can see that indeed osd.118 is the one
storing the most data (82.39% full in the above table).
I would like to re balance the PG/OSD allocation. I know that I can play around with the
OSD weights (currently .306 for all the OSDs), but I wonder if there is any drawback for
this on the long run? Are you aware of any reason why I should NOT modify the weights (and
leave those modifications permanent)?
Any ideas are welcome :)
Kind regards,
Laszlo
