====== WARNING ======

<WRAP center round important 60%>
This documents cover the **TOO MANY** PGs per OSD, not //too few// (documented [[linux:ceph:troubleshooting:too_few_pgs_per_osd|here]])
</WRAP>

====== Understanding the problem ======
The solution is perfectly explained here:\\
[[https://stackoverflow.com/questions/39589696/ceph-too-many-pgs-per-osd-all-you-need-to-know]]\\
To keep the solution safe, I'll write here down it.

====== Rawpaste of pool usage ======

<code bash>
ceph pg dump | awk '
BEGIN { IGNORECASE = 1 }
 /^PG_STAT/ { col=1; while($col!="UP") {col++}; col++ }
 /^[0-9a-f]+\.[0-9a-f]+/ { match($0,/^[0-9a-f]+/); pool=substr($0, RSTART, RLENGTH); poollist[pool]=0;
 up=$col; i=0; RSTART=0; RLENGTH=0; delete osds; while(match(up,/[0-9]+/)>0) { osds[++i]=substr(up,RSTART,RLENGTH); up = substr(up, RSTART+RLENGTH) }
 for(i in osds) {array[osds[i],pool]++; osdlist[osds[i]];}
}
END {
 printf("\n");
 printf("pool :\t"); for (i in poollist) printf("%s\t",i); printf("| SUM \n");
 for (i in poollist) printf("--------"); printf("----------------\n");
 for (i in osdlist) { printf("osd.%i\t", i); sum=0;
   for (j in poollist) { printf("%i\t", array[i,j]); sum+=array[i,j]; sumpool[j]+=array[i,j] }; printf("| %i\n",sum) }
 for (i in poollist) printf("--------"); printf("----------------\n");
 printf("SUM :\t"); for (i in poollist) printf("%s\t",sumpool[i]); printf("|\n");
}'

That's all

====== The "solution" ======

If you're sure that you need more PG's per os, change the configuration.\\
You must add:
<code>
mon pg warn max per osd = ${NEW_PG_PER_OSD_NUMBER}
</code>
\\
on your ''ceph.conf'' under the ''[global]'' section.

\\
And update the config worldwide.\\

You can also change the setting without having to restart:
<code bash>
# check
ceph tell 'osd.*' config get mon_max_pg_per_osd
# change
ceph tell 'osd.*' config set mon_max_pg_per_osd ${NEW_PG_PER_OSD_NUMBER}
# check again
ceph tell 'osd.*' config get mon_max_pg_per_osd
</code>
