I have only 366M meta data stored in an ssd pool, with 16TB (10 million objects) of filesystem data (hdd pools). The active mds is using 13GB memory.

Or does it only needs RAM? How could I calculate the amount of disks and/or memory needed? Thank you very much NOTICE Please consider the environment before printing this email.
