Hi Dan, your comment is very important: https://tracker.ceph.com/issues/57348 By the way, is anyone looking at new cases? I submitted a couple since spring and in the past it took not more than 2 weeks to 1 month until someone assigned them to a project. Since spring I can't see any such activity any more. The issue tracker seems to have turned into a black hole. Do you know what the reason might be? thanks and bets regards, ================= Frank Schilder AIT Risø Campus Bygning 109, rum S14 ________________________________________ From: Dan van der Ster <dvanders@xxxxxxxxx> Sent: 11 October 2022 19:39:11 To: Christopher Durham Cc: Ceph Users Subject: Re: crush hierarchy backwards and upmaps ... Hi Chris, Just curious, does this rule make sense and help with the multi level crush map issue? (Maybe it also results in zero movement, or at least less then the alternative you proposed?) step choose indep 4 type rack step chooseleaf indep 2 type chassis Cheers, Dan On Tue, Oct 11, 2022, 19:29 Christopher Durham <caduceus42@xxxxxxx> wrote: > Dan, > > Thank you. > > I did what you said regarding --test-map-pgs-dump and it wants to move 3 > OSDs in every PG.
