Hi Ben,

Thank you for getting back.

According to this documentation [1] and the osds.yml [2] from the
stable branches (3.x) , it appears that Ceph-Ansible is able to create
separate partitions on different devices for the non-collocated
scenario for both Filestore and Bluestore. The problem is that I could
not find where to set the size for the WAL and DB partitions on the
journal device. As per the Ceph documentation [3], the DB partition
size should be no less than 4% of the underlying OSD capacity. I do
not know how to take that aspect into configuration for Ceph-Ansible.
