Hi Simon,
starting Nautlus v14.2.10 Bluestore is able to use 'wasted' space at DB
volume.
see this PR:
https://github.com/ceph/ceph/pull/29687
Nice overview on the overall BlueFS/RocksDB design can be find here:
https://cf2.cloudferro.com:8080/swift/v1/AUTH_5e376cddf8a94f9294259b5f48d7b…
Which also includes some overview (as well as additional concerns) for
changes brought by the above-mentioned PR.
Thanks,
Igor
