Do you think it > can be improved as I suggested? Yes the PGs are perfectly distributed - but i think most of the people would like to have a dsitribution by bytes and not pgs. Is this possible? I mean in the code there is already a dict for pgs, objects and bytes - but i don't know how to change the logic. Just remove the pgs and objects from the dict? > Cheers, Dan > > [1] https://github.com/ceph/ceph/blob/luminous/src/pybind/mgr/balancer/module.py#L558 > _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list ceph-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.ceph.com/listinfo.cgi/ceph-users-ceph.com
