5.2. Pools placement groups and CRUSH Copy linkLink copied to clipboard!
When you create pools and set the number of placement groups for the pool, Ceph uses default values when you do not specifically override the defaults.
Red Hat recommends overriding some of the defaults. Specifically, set a pool’s replica size and override the default number of placement groups.
You can set these values when running pool commands. You can also override the defaults by adding new ones in the [global]
section of the Ceph configuration file.
