Download the CRUSHMap and run tests on it with crushtool: $ crushtool -i mycrushmap --test --rule 0 --num-rep 3 --show-statistics Now, change the map, compile it and run again: $ crushtool -i mycrushmap.new --test --rule 0 --num-rep 3 --show-statistics Check the differences and you get the idea of how much has changed.
