Verify that you have the optimal amount of PGs (see the current calculator thread) and adjust if needed. Watch the data rejigger itself. Set your crush tunables to optimal. Another round of happy data movement. Once the dust settles, you ought to have a better, but no way perfect distribution. It comes with the territory, Ceph needs to be deterministic first.
