Hello Joel, Please be aware that it is not recommended to keep a mix of OSDs created with different bluestore_min_alloc_size values within the same CRUSH device class. The consequence of such a mix is that the balancer will not work properly - instead of evening out the OSD space utilization, it will create a distribution with two bands. This is a bug in the balancer.
