The latter. You are correct that it should depend on the number of objects, but the objects vary in size depending on the type of workload. RGW objects are different than RBD. So we are taking a baseline/average for object sizes and recommending based on that, which is roughly 4% the size of the data device _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list ceph-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.ceph.com/listinfo.cgi/ceph-users-ceph.com
