Thank you for the suggestion to use the bitmap allocator. I looked at the ceph documentation and could find no mention of this setting. This makes me wonder how safe and production ready this setting really is. I'm hesitant to apply that to our production environment. If the allocator setting helps to resolve the problem then it looks to me like there is a bug in the 'stupid' allocator that is causing this behavior. Would this qualify for creating a bug report or is some more debugging needed before I can do that?
