The hints have to be given from the client side as far as I understand, can you share the client code too? Also,not seems that there's no guarantees that it will actually do anything (best effort I guess): https://docs.ceph.com/docs/mimic/rados/api/librados/#c.rados_set_alloc_hint Cheers On 6 September 2020 15:59:01 BST, Marc Roos <M.Roos@f1-outsourcing.eu> wrote:
I have been inserting 10790 exactly the same 64kb text message to a passive compressing enabled pool. I am still counting, but it looks like only half the objects are compressed.

I am not sure if this should be expected from passive, these docs[1] hint that passive 'compress if hinted COMPRESSIBLE'. From that I would conclude that all text messages should be compressed. A previous test with a 64kb gzip attachment seemed to not compress, although I did not look at all object sizes.
