So one file in the cephfs generates one inode of ~4KB in the "metadata" pool, correct? So that (number-of-files-in-cephfs) x 4KB gives me an (approximative) estimation of the amount of data in the "metadata" pool? > 3) Some smaller data structures about the allocated inode range and > current client sessions. > > The data pool contains all of the file data.
