Hi Everyone, I've got a couple of pools that I don't believe are being used but have a reasonably large number of pg's (approx 50% of our total pg's). I'd like to delete them but as they were pre-existing when I inherited the cluster, I wanted to make sure they aren't needed for anything first. Here's the details: POOLS: NAME ID USED %USED MAX AVAIL OBJECTS data 0 0 0 88037G 0 metadata 1 0 0 88037G 0 We don't run cephfs and I believe these are meant for that, but may have been created by default when the cluster was set up (back on dumpling or bobtail I think). As far as I can tell there is no data in them. Do they need to exist for some ceph function? The pool names worry me a little, as they sound important. They have 3136 pg's each so I'd like to be rid of those so I can increase the number of pg's in my actual data pools without getting over the 300 pg's per osd. Here's the osd dump: pool 0 'data' replicated size 2 min_size 1 crush_ruleset 0 object_hash rjenkins pg_num 3136 pgp_num 3136 last_change 1 crash_replay_interval 45 min_read_recency_for_promote 1 min_write_recency_for_promote 1 stripe_width 0 pool 1 'metadata' replicated size 2 min_size 1 crush_ruleset 1 object_hash rjenkins pg_num 3136 pgp_num 3136 last_change 1 min_read_recency_for_promote 1 min_write_recency_for_promote 1 stripe_width 0 Also, what performance impact am I likely to see when ceph removes the empty pg's considering it's approx 50% of my total pg's on my 180 osd's.
