Hi Adam, This priority order is different from common sense, where specific setting has higher priority than generic setting. With this order, compression_min_blob_size has higher priority, then what's the point of having _hdd or _ssd settings, which will never get applied? Thanks!

This can be forced by setting bluestore_debug_enforce_settings to either 'hdd' or 'ssd' if your hardware improperly reports # cat /sys/block/sda/queue/rotational 0 Blob is an organization unit in BlueStore https://github.com/ceph/ceph/pull/51933 You can get compression for blocks smaller than 4K only if your main device has native block size smaller. # cat /sys/block/nvme1n1/queue/physical_block_size 512 In such a case you can set bluestore_min_alloc_size (in effect only during mkfs) to some value smaller than 4K, but multiply of 512. This path is not often tested, and you need to own unexpected side effects.

What's this "blob"? Is it write block? Then, there is no compression for 4K write block? I was not able to find it out from doc, hope someone could help to clarify. Thanks!
