Use the following link, it should give an idea about pg_number. http://ceph.com/pgcalc/
Number of PGs/OSd has implication on number of TCP connection in the system along with some resources on cpu/memory. So, if you have lots of PG/OSD it may degrade performance, I think mainly because of extensive number of TCP connection specially if you have pretty decent high end node and not worrying about cpu/memory. Basically, ~200 PGs/OSD we should be targeting for. On the other hand, very less PG/OSD will hurt parallelism because Ceph will not allow multiple operation on a PG to go in parallel. I am not sure if data distribution will affect that much (considering you have pgs more than your OSDs :-) ) , but I must admit that I never tried with very few Pgs...

Data lost, are you sure? Personally, I would have said: few PG/OSDs lot of PG/OSDs ------------------------------------> * Data distribution less envenly * Good balanced distribution of data * Use less CPU and RAM * Use lot of CPU and RAM No?
