Ceph placement group memory footprint, in debug mode
// Ceph

A Ceph cluster is run from sources with

CEPH_NUM_MON=1 CEPH_NUM_OSD=5 ./vstart.sh -d -n -X -l mon osd  

and each ceph-osd uses approximately 50MB of resident memory

USER       PID %CPU %MEM    VSZ   RSS TTY      STAT START   TIME COMMAND  loic      7489  1.7  0.2 586080 43676 ?        Ssl  17:55   0:01  ceph-osd  loic      7667  1.6  0.2 586080 43672 ?        Ssl  17:55   0:01  ceph-osd  

A pool is created with 10,000 placement groups

$ ceph osd pool create manypg 10000  pool 'manypg' created  

the creation completes within half an hour

The OSD now use approximately 150MB which suggests that each additional placement group uses ~10KB of resident memory.
