Glad to see I am not the only one with unexpected increased disk usage. I do have a case for a few months now where the reported size on disk is 10 times higher than it should be. Unfortunately no solution so far. Therefore, I am very curious whether the min alloc size will solve your problem I do not expect it to be the solution in my case. This is how it looks in my cluster: I've moved a 1TiB pool (3TiB raw use) from hdd osds (7) to newly added nvme osds (14). The hdd osds should be almost empty by now as just small pools reside on them. The pools on the hdd osds in sum store about 25GiB, which should use about 75GiB with a pool size of 3. Wal and db are on separate devices. However the outputs of ceph df and ceph osd df tell a different story: # ceph df RAW STORAGE: CLASS SIZE AVAIL USED RAW USED %RAW USED hdd 19 TiB 18 TiB 775 GiB 782 GiB 3.98 # ceph osd df | egrep "(ID|hdd)" ID CLASS WEIGHT REWEIGHT SIZE RAW USE DATA OMAP META AVAIL %USE VAR PGS STATUS 8 hdd 2.72392 1.00000 2.8 TiB 111 GiB 10 GiB 111 KiB 1024 MiB 2.7 TiB 3.85 0.60 65 up 6 hdd 2.17914 1.00000 2.3 TiB 112 GiB 11 GiB 83 KiB 1024 MiB 2.2 TiB 4.82 0.75 58 up 3 hdd 2.72392 1.00000 2.8 TiB 114 GiB 13 GiB 71 KiB 1024 MiB 2.7 TiB 3.94 0.62 76 up 5 hdd 2.72392 1.00000 2.8 TiB 109 GiB 7.6 GiB 83 KiB 1024 MiB 2.7 TiB 3.76 0.59 63 up 4 hdd 2.72392 1.00000 2.8 TiB 112 GiB 11 GiB 55 KiB 1024 MiB 2.7 TiB 3.87 0.60 59 up 7 hdd 2.72392 1.00000 2.8 TiB 114 GiB 13 GiB 8 KiB 1024 MiB 2.7 TiB 3.93 0.61 66 up 2 hdd 2.72392 1.00000 2.8 TiB 111 GiB 9.9 GiB 78 KiB 1024 MiB 2.7 TiB 3.84 0.60 69 up The sum of "DATA" is 75,5GiB which is what I am expecting to be used by the pools. How come the sum of "RAW USE" is 783GiB? More than 10x the size of the stored data.
