I’m trying to set up an erasure coded pool with k=9 m=6 on 13 osd hosts. I’m trying to write a crush rule for this which will balance this between hosts as much as possible. I understand that having 9+6=15 > 13, I will need to parse the tree twice in order to find enough pgs. So what I’m trying to do is select ~1 from each host on the first pass, and then select n more osds to fill it out, without using any osds from the first pass, and preferably balancing them between racks.
For starters, I don't know if this is even possible or if its the right approach to what I'm trying to do, but heres my attempt: rule .us-phx.rgw.buckets.ec { ruleset 1 type erasure min_size 3 max_size 20 step set_chooseleaf_tries 5 step take default step chooseleaf indep 0 type host step emit step take default step chooseleaf indep 0 type rack step emit } This gets me pretty close, the first pass works great and the second pass does a nice balance between racks, but in my testing ~ 6 out of 1000 pgs will have two osds in their group. I'm guessing I need to get down to one pass to make sure that doesn't happen, but I'm having a hard time sorting out how to hit the requirement of balancing among hosts *and* allowing for more than one osd per host.
