Hi folks,
I am testing out the pg_autoscale_mode on a new and empty 16.2.7 cluster
and was a bit confused by its behaviour.
I created a pool with a specified amount of PGs roughly based on pgcalc and
expected size like in the old days.
The autoscaler then started lowering the PGs as expected as the pool was
still empty and I haven't set any target_size.
However, after I turned off pg_autoscale_mode on the pool, it kept on
lowering the PGs down to what in my case was the new pg_num_target of 32.
Is this intended behaviour even after turning off pg_autoscale_mode? If so,
are there any other ways of stopping it or am I in an edge case as it is
assumed that target_size is set?
See below for example where pg_num and pgp_num kept on lowering on the pool
`testbench` even after setting pg_autoscale_mode off:
root:~# ceph osd pool create testbench 4096 4096
pool 'testbench' created
