Hi,
we're in the process of changing 480G drives for 1200G drives, which should cut 
the number of OSDs I have roughly to 1/3.

My largest "volumes" pool for OpenStack volumes has 16384 PGs at the moment and 
I have 36K PGs in total. That equals to ~180 PGs/OSD and would become ~500 PG/s 
OSD.

I know I can't actually decrease the number of PGs in a pool, and I'm wondering 
if it's worth working around to decrease the numbers? It is possible I'll be 
expanding the storage in the future, but probably not 3-fold. 

I think it's not worth bothering with and I'll just have to disable the "too 
many PGs per OSD" warning if I upgrade.

I already put some new drives in and the OSDs seem to work fine (though I had 
to restart them after backfilling - they were spinning CPU for no apparent 
reason).

Your thoughts?

Thanks
Jan
