Hi Simon Unfortunately, the other NVME space is wasted or at least, this is the information we gathered during our research. This fact is due to the RocksDB level management which is explained here (https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/wiki/Leveled-Compaction). I don't think it's a hard limit but it will be something above these values. Also consult this thread (http://lists.ceph.com/pipermail/ceph-users-ceph.com/2019-February/033286.html). It's probably better to go a bit over these limits to be on the safe side. Exactly, reality is always different. We also struggle with small files which lead to further problems. Accordingly, the right initial setting is pretty important and depends on your individual usecase.

So if I understand correctly, we waste 93 GB per OSD on unused NVME space, because only 30GB is actually used...? And to improve the space for rocksdb, we need to plan for 300GB per rocksdb partition in order to benefit from this advantage.... Reducing the number of small files is something we always ask of our users, but reality is what it is ;-) I'll have to look into how I can get an informative view on these metrics... It's pretty overwhelming the amount of information coming out of the ceph cluster, even when you look only superficially...
