With the following configuration file, the create_pool method in the python librados library creates the pool with the correct pg_num value (256): [global] auth_service_required = cephx filestore_xattr_use_omap = true auth_client_required = cephx auth_cluster_required = cephx mon_host = 64.0.1.210,64.0.1.211 public_network = 64.0.1.192/26 mon_initial_members = MON05, MON06 fsid = 91eda869-9a34-4f74-8189-7d5fb6952f4a [mon] osd pool default pg num = 256 osd pool default pgp num = 256 The 'osd pool default pg num...' had to be in the [mon] section and not the [osd] or [global] sections.

Those values should be used whenever you create a pool via the API, and it doesn't look like anything external to the monitor can change that. So you probably set these values in the [osd] section rather than the [mon] or [global] section, at a guess. (The monitor is the one who manages this data and so they need to have the values.) -Greg On Mon, Jan 26, 2015 at 11:03 AM, Jason Anderson <Jason.Anderson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hello Gregory, > > > > Thanks for the quick response.
