Is it possible to choose the flexgroup a new bucket is created in?

There seems to be some automatic selection process which I haven't figured out yet, sometimes it creates a new flexgroup and sometimes the bucket is created in the existing flexgroup.

Perhaps it doesn't make much difference but I'd rather not have several 200 TB flexgroups on my 200 TB total system.

fwiw i noticed the same thing. I was really only testing and deleted everything, but I was never able to determine a way to control that part.

Best resource would be the S3 in ONTAP Best Practices Guide - TR-4814

If you're doing this through system manager, I'd suggest doing command line as it gives you more options and control. The command I run is cluster::*> vserver object-store-server bucket create -bucket <name> -vserver <vserver> -aggr-list <aggr-list> -aggr-list-multiplier <multiplier> -size <size>
