[ceph-users] Eccessive occupation of small OSDs

Dear Ceph users, my cluster is made up of 10 old machines, with uneven number of disks and disk size. Essentially I have just one big data pool (6+2 erasure code, with host failure domain) for which I am currently experiencing a very poor available space (88 TB of which 40 TB occupied, as reported by df -h on hosts mounting the cephfs) compared to the raw one (196.5 TB). I have a total of 104 OSDs and 512 PGs for the pool; I cannot increment the PG number since the machines are old and with very low amount of RAM, and some of them are already overloaded. In this situation I'm seeing a high occupation of small OSDs (500 MB) with respect to bigger ones (2 and 4 TB) even if the weight is set equal to disk capacity (see below for ceph osd tree). For example OSD 9 is at 62% occupancy even with weight 0.5 and reweight 0.75, while the highest occupancy for 2 TB OSDs is 41% (OSD 18) and 4 TB OSDs is 23% (OSD 79). I guess this high occupancy for 500 MB OSDs combined with erasure code size and host failure domain might be the cause of the poor available space, could this be true? The upmap balancer is currently running but I don't know if and how much it could improve the situation. Any hint is greatly appreciated, thanks.
