The "MAX AVAIL" is not "free", i.e. it is not a difference between
total and used. It is estimated by the cluster as "how much data user
will be able to store additionally until one of osds is filled up".

Consider an example, when by some reason all osds are 10% full and one
50% full. The cluster will "assume" that if you store additional data
it will be distributed the same way, i.e. that one osd will continue
to store more than others, so when all other osds will 20% full that
one will be 100% full and the cluster is not usable.

I.e. basically "MAX AVAIL" in this example is (N - 1) * 10% + 1 * 50%,
instead of (N - 1) * 90% + 1 * 50%, which whould you expect for "free".

To make "MAX AVAIL" match exactly "free", you have to have a perfectly
balanced cluster. Look at `ceph osd df` output to see how well data is
balanced in your case.
