Hi, As far as I know Ceph won't attempt to do any weight modifications. If you use the default CRUSH map, every devices get a default weight of 1. However this value can be modified while the cluster runs. Simply update the CRUSH map like so: # ceph osd crush reweight {name} {weight} If you need more input, have a look at the documentation ;-) http://ceph.com/docs/master/rados/operations/crush-map/?highlight=crush#adjust-an-osd-s-crush-weight Cheers, -- Regards, Sébastien Han.

My understanding is they are a statistical distribution number. My current setup has 3TB hard drives and they all have the default weight of 1. I was thinking that if I mixed in 4TB hard drives in the future it would only put 3TB of data on them. I thought if I changed the weight to 3 for the 3TB hard drives and 4 for the 4TB hard drives it would correctly use the larger storage disks.
