too many PGs per OSD (341 > max 300)

I have this because I chose too many at creation, but am planning on adding enough to correctly coincide (but not for a month or so)

 

what's the best course of action in the interim?  I an going to be adding more, but not yet

From the Ceph Configuration web page, increase the value

mon_max_pg_per_osd   from 300 to 350

note this is a temporary setting so you do not see the warning, and not a fix.

 

thank you! is there any risk running it this way temporarily?

There is a risk if you have a node down, its PGs will be distributed on remaining OSDs so it will increase depending on node count and replication count.

Too many PGs puts load on the OSDs, depending on hardware, it may too much load. Before production, test your hardware can handle such failure cases with recovery and max expected client io load going on.
