Sorry, I meant the disk space taken up by the files. I have a dataset with lots of small files, my sample set 2.5gb in total size and 5gb on a filesystem with a 4kb block size. When put the files inside ceph bluestore they take up 6gb. Does bluestore have an internal block size? Is there a way to adjust it? For comparison I created a filestore OSD with 2kb block size and the data took up only 4.5gb. - Pavel _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list ceph-users@lists.ceph.com http://lists.ceph.com/listinfo.cgi/ceph-users-ceph.com
