Hi Jane, I agree with you and I was trying to say disk which has more PG will fill up quick. But, My question even though RAW disk space is 262 TB, pool 2 replica max storage is showing only 132 TB in the dashboard and when mounting the pool using cephfs it's showing 62 TB, I could understand that due to replica it's showing half of the space. why it's not showing the entire RAW disk space as available space? Number of PG per pool play any vital role in showing available space?
