Hi Everybody,
this story might sound familiar to a similar one I posted recently, but I think, the circumstances are different:
I have a 3-node cluster, which's PGs are unequally distributed across the available nodes.
My suspicion rose, while updating the cluster from 15.x to 16.x. When I rebooted the nodes one after the other, sometimes the cluster went unresponsive.
Currently the status is OK, all nodes are up.
How ever, I investigated little further, and found out, that my PGs are not evenly distributed thought out all cluster nodes.
To confirm my suspicion, I replaced the OSD-NUMs with fictional node-names (01-03) to get a better overview of what's happening:

Code: 
ceph pg dump all|cut -d [ -f 2| cut -d ] -f 1| sed -e"s/\b[0-7]\b/01/g;s/\b[89]\b\|\b10\b\|\b11\b\|\b20\b\|\b21\b\|\b23\b/02/g;s/\b1[2-9]\b/03/g" | grep -v -e "01,02,03\|02,01,03\|03,01,02"

The result looks then like this:
As one can see, the majority of the PGs are all stored on one single Node instead of beeing distributed on all 3 nodes equally.

So far, I'll answer to myself: It seams, as if my crush replication rules do not as I expected it to do:

This one, I hoped for would ensure me 2 copies per host and 6 in total, so 2 per host.

Code: 
rule production_pool {
        id 1
        type replicated
        min_size 2
        max_size 6
        step take production
        step chooseleaf firstn 0 type osd
        step emit
}

This one, at least on 2 hosts, but maximum on all 3 hosts.

Code: 
rule backup_pool {
        id 2
        type replicated
        min_size 2
        max_size 3
        step take backup
        step chooseleaf firstn 0 type osd
        step emit
}

I have now set all pools to the default rule which is min_size 1 and mx_size 10.
The cluster shuffles now as crazy, but when I examine the PGs as I did before using my super duper sed 1-liner, I can see that more and more PGs are now spread though out the cluster as desired.

So I guess, the problem is solved, how ever, I'd be grateful for advice, how I can ensure, one PG sits on multiple OSDs per Host (node).

thank you!
