We are stressing these boxes pretty spectacularly at the moment.
On every box I have one OSD that is pegged for IO almost constantly.
ceph-1:

These are all disks in my block storage pool.
osdmap e26698: 102 osds: 102 up, 102 in
pgmap v6752413: 4624 pgs, 3 pools, 14151 GB data, 21729 kobjects

4624 active+clean
client io 1915 kB/s rd, 59690 kB/s wr, 1464 op/s
I don't see any smart errors, but i'm slowly working my way through all of the disks on these machines with smartctl to see if anything stands out.

don't know how much data I have on co-located journals. (At least, I'm
assuming it's in the 16K range based on the others, although I'm just
now realizing that subops aren't providing that information...I've
created a ticket to include that diagnostic info in future.)
