This is also reproducible.

I see, but data distribution seems not optimal in that case.
For example using this crush map:
# types
type 0 osd
type 1 host
type 2 rack
type 3 row
type 4 room
type 5 datacenter
type 6 root
# buckets
host prox-ceph-1 {
id -2 # do not change unnecessarily
# weight 7.260
alg straw
hash 0 # rjenkins1
item osd.0 weight 3.630
item osd.1 weight 3.630
}
host prox-ceph-2 {
id -3 # do not change unnecessarily
# weight 7.260
alg straw
hash 0 # rjenkins1
item osd.2 weight 3.630
item osd.3 weight 3.630
}
host prox-ceph-3 {
id -4 # do not change unnecessarily
# weight 3.630
alg straw
hash 0 # rjenkins1
item osd.4 weight 3.630
}
host prox-ceph-4 {
id -5 # do not change unnecessarily
# weight 3.630
alg straw
hash 0 # rjenkins1
item osd.5 weight 3.630
}
root default {
id -1 # do not change unnecessarily
# weight 21.780
alg straw
hash 0 # rjenkins1
item prox-ceph-1 weight 7.260 # 2 OSDs
item prox-ceph-2 weight 7.260 # 2 OSDs
item prox-ceph-3 weight 3.630 # 1 OSD
item prox-ceph-4 weight 3.630 # 1 OSD
}
# rules
rule data {
ruleset 0
type replicated
min_size 1
max_size 10
step take default
step chooseleaf firstn 0 type host
step emit
}
# end crush map
crushtool shows the following utilization:
# crushtool --test -i my.map --rule 0 --num-rep 3 --show-utilization
device 0: 423
device 1: 452
device 2: 429
device 3: 452
device 4: 661
device 5: 655
Any explanation for that? Maybe related to the small number of devices?
