Data distribution among mount points of different capacity on a single node

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch

Hey,

I have a 3 node cluster.
I have configured 3 mount points per server(/data1, /data2, /data3).
/data1 1.8T
/data2 1.8T
/data3 5.5T
How would data distribution work on a single node. Would it split equally or the data distribution could be skewed because of heterogeneous mount points?

It distributes the data in round robin manner until the smallest volume is (nearly) full, as per disk watermarks.

So it is equivalent to having 3*1.8T disks?

Yep.
