I did exactly this when creating my osds, and found that my total utilization is about the same as the sum of the utilization of the pools, plus (wal size * number osds). So it looks like my wals are actually sharing OSDs. But I'd like to be 100% sure... so I am seeking a way to find out

wal and db device will be same if you use just db path during osd
creation. i do not know how to verify this with ceph commands.

I followed those instructions and like the other person writing to this list today, I was surprised to find that my cluster usage was higher than the total of pools (higher by an amount the same as all my wal sizes on each node combined). This leads me to think my wal actually is on the data disk and not the ssd I specified the db should go to.
