Hi,

ok i found a bug in the balancer code which seems to be present in all
releases.

 861                     best_ws = next_ws
 862                     best_ow = next_ow


should be:

 861                     best_ws = copy.deepcopy(next_ws)
 862                     best_ow = copy.deepcopy(next_ow)

otherwise it does not use the best but the last.

I'm also using this one:
https://github.com/ceph/ceph/pull/20665/commits/c161a74ad6cf006cd9b33b40fd7705b67c170615

to optimize by bytes only.

Greets,
Stefan
