.Base Options
Name:: The name of the pool. This must be unique and can't be changed afterwards.
Size:: The number of replicas per object. Ceph always tries to have this many
copies of an object. Default: `3`.
PG Autoscale Mode:: The automatic PG scaling mode footnoteref:[autoscaler] of
the pool. If set to `warn`, it produces a warning message when a pool
has a non-optimal PG count. Default: `warn`.
Add as Storage:: Configure a VM or container storage using the new pool.
Default: `true`.
.Advanced Options
Min. Size:: The minimum number of replicas per object. Ceph will reject I/O on
the pool if a PG has less than this many replicas. Default: `2`.
Crush Rule:: The rule to use for mapping object placement in the cluster. These
rules define how data is placed within the cluster. See
xref:pve_ceph_device_classes[Ceph CRUSH & device classes] for information on
device-based rules.
# of PGs:: The number of placement groups footnoteref:[placement_groups] that
the pool should have at the beginning. Default: `128`.
Traget Size:: The estimated amount of data expected in the pool. The PG
autoscaler uses this size to estimate the optimal PG count.
Target Size Ratio:: The ratio of data that is expected in the pool. The PG
autoscaler uses the ratio relative to other ratio sets. It takes precedence
over the `target size` if both are set.
Min. # of PGs:: The minimum number of placement groups. This setting is used to
fine-tune the lower bound of the PG count for that pool. The PG autoscaler
will not merge PGs below this threshold.
