Hey Tim, If you deployed with ceph-deploy then your monitors started without knowledge of how many OSDs you will be adding to your cluster. You can add 'osd_pool_default_pg_num' and 'osd_pool_default_pgp_num' to you ceph.conf before creating your monitors to have the default pools created with the proper number of placement groups. I believe with the old mkcephfs script the number of osds was used to give a better default pg count. I don't think this is really necessary anymore as you can increase your placement group size now. ceph osd pool set <poolname> pg_num <num> ceph osd pool set <poolname> pgp_num <num> On Wed, Oct 23, 2013 at 6:13 AM, Snider, Tim <Tim.Snider@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > I have a newly created cluster with 68 osds and the default of 2 replicas.
