Thanks Martin, I was going to do the same.

Is it possible to make the DB partition (on the fastest device) too
big? in other words is there a point where for a given set of OSDs
(number + size) the DB partition is sized too large and is wasting
resources. I recall a comment by someone proposing to split up a
single large (fast) SSD into 100GB partitions for each OSD.

The answer could be couched as some intersection of pool type (RBD /
RADOS / CephFS), object change(update?) intensity, size of OSD etc and
rule-of-thumb.

An idea occurred to me that by monitoring for the logged spill message
(the event when the DB partition spills/overflows to the OSD), OSDs
could be (lazily) destroyed and recreated with a new DB partition
increased in size say by 10% each time.
