Hi David, thank you. Unfortunately i have the problem that i can't use the upmap mode at the moment. root@ceph-mgr:~# ceph balancer mode upmap root@ceph-mgr:~# ceph balancer optimize myplan root@ceph-mgr:~# ceph balancer show myplan # starting osdmap epoch 409753 # starting crush version 84 # mode upmap ceph osd pg-upmap-items 4.18e 34 13 ceph osd pg-upmap-items 4.36d 24 20 ceph osd pg-upmap-items 7.2 10 15 ceph osd pg-upmap-items 7.3 24 20 4 17 ceph osd pg-upmap-items 7.4 0 16 4 25 ceph osd pg-upmap-items 7.5 19 2 8 13 ceph osd pg-upmap-items 7.7 8 21 root@ceph-mgr:~# ceph balancer execute myplan Error EPERM: min_compat_client jewel < luminous, which is required for pg-upmap.

I know I ran into that when I first set up the balancer and nothing obviously said that was the problem. Only researching find it for me. My real question, though, is why aren't you using upmap? It is significantly better than crush-compat. Unless you have clients on really old kernels that can't update or that are on pre-luminous Ceph versions that can't update, there's really no reason not to use upmap.
