crush-map.rst: choose firstn talks about "N", but does not clearly define what N is
Added by Dan Mick over 11 years ago.
Updated about 11 years ago.
Description
The implication is that 'N' is "the number of buckets of type 'type' available", but Sam believes it must really be "the replication count for this pool", and it seems very odd not to mention
the replication count at all in the documentation of choose firstn, even if that's not
what N is.

Sorry, I think this is still wrong; the descriptions of {num} only apply if firstn is supplied, correct? Otherwise {num} is the number to choose.
Also, chooseleaf is still missing firstn|indep, and I think we should note that "pool-num-replicas" is the same thing we call "pool size" elsewhere.

Things I mentioned in comment 4 are still present; I'd like to either change them or update here why we're not.
