I've just made the same change ( 4 and 40 for now) on my cluster which is a similar size to yours. I didn't see any merging happening, although most of the directory's I looked at had more files in than the new merge threshold, so I guess this is to be expected I'm currently splitting my PG's from 1024 to 2048 to see if that helps to bring things back into order. > -----Original Message----- > From: ceph-users [mailto:ceph-users-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of > Wang, Warren > Sent: 04 September 2015 01:21 > To: Mark Nelson <mnelson@xxxxxxxxxx>; Ben Hines <bhines@xxxxxxxxx> > Cc: ceph-users <ceph-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > Subject: Re: Ceph performance, empty vs part full > > I'm about to change it on a big cluster too.
