Hi,

You might be speaking about different ratios here. I think that Anthony is 
speaking about journal/OSD and Reed speaking about capacity ratio between and 
HDD and SSD tier/root. 

I have been experimenting with hybrid setups (1 copy on SSD + 2 copies on HDD), 
like Richard says you’ll get much better random read performance with primary 
OSD on SSD but write performance won’t be amazing since you still have 2 HDD 
copies to write before ACK. 

I know the doc suggests using primary affinity but since it’s a OSD level 
setting it does not play well with other storage tiers so I searched for other 
options. From what I have tested, a rule that selects the first/primary OSD 
from the ssd-root then the rest of the copies from the hdd-root works. Though I 
am not sure it is *guaranteed* that the first OSD selected will be primary.

“rule hybrid {
  ruleset 2
  type replicated
  min_size 1
  max_size 10
  step take ssd-root
  step chooseleaf firstn 1 type host
  step emit
  step take hdd-root
  step chooseleaf firstn -1 type host
  step emit
}”

Cheers,
Maxime
