This has (of course) been discussed here many times.
Google is your friend (when it's not creepy).

Manually re-weighting (CRUSH, not reweight) is one approach, IMHO it's
better to give the least utilized OSDs a higher score than the other way
around, while keeping per node scores as equal as possible.

Doing the reweight by utilization dance, which in the latest Hammer
versions is much improved and has a dry-run option is another option.
I don't like it because it's a temporary setting, lost if the OSD is ever
set OUT.

Both of these can create a very even cluster, but may make imbalances
during OSD adds/removals worse than otherwise.

The larger your cluster gets, the less likely you'll run into extreme
outliers, but of course it's something to monitor (graph) anyway.
The smaller your cluster, the less painful it is to manually adjust things.

If you have only 1 or a few over-utilized OSDs and don't want to add more
OSDs, fiddle their weight.

However if one OSD is getting near-full I'd take that also as hint to check
the numbers, i.e. what would happen if you'd loose an OSD (or 2) or a host,
could Ceph survive this w/o everything getting full?
