How are they physically installed? If the hardware is unbalanced, the chunklets will be unbalanced.

What are your CPGs configured like ? Have you restricted CPGs to particular disks ? Got an odd CPG config ?

I still find that very weird. AO works per node pair, not node. So the utilization should be equal on all drives in the same cage.
