In the tree bucket case, it is the power of 2 that is 2x the number of items (or something similar), as it is mixed up with the internal implementation (which puts items at the leaves and has internal nodes with weights). Note that I believe there is a bug in the tree mapping code that hasn't been addressed just because nobody ever users it. The default is straw and that is usually the right choice... sage -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe ceph-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
