Please show the exact errors you are getting. You should not need a mon on the same node to create an mds, though you will want an /etc/ceph/ceph.conf that points to the mons.

There is only 1 client accessing the data, a Samba server. I found large disparities in PG Distribution and Drive utilization. I enabled pg_autoscaler and found that it was reducing the number of PGs per OSD from 116 to 104.5 at this time, but it wasn't helping with space consumption equalization. I found loadbalancer and enabled that and it is in the process of evening out.
