After set all to 3.64 you can raise the weight for the 8TB-drives one by one. Depends on your cluster/OSDs, it's perhaps an good idea to adjust the primary affinity for the 8-TB drives during reweight?! Otherwise you got more reads from the (slower) 8TB-drives. > Would it be better to just reweight the 8TB drives to 2 gradually? > I would go for 3.64 - than you have the right settings if you init further OSDs with ceph-deploy.
