Hi *,
well, there was once a comment on our layout in means of "too many pools".
Our setup is to have a pool per customer, to simplify the view on used
storage
capacity.
So, if we have - in a couple of months, we hope - more then some hundred
customers, this setup was not recommended, cause the whole system is not
designed for handling that. ( Sage)
What does "not recommended" mean? Is it, that per OSD the used memory
will be
too high?
Yes. Every new pool you create will consume some memory on the OSD. So
if you start creating a lot of pools, you will also start consuming more
and more memory.
I haven't followed this lately, but that is the current information I have.
The number of objects in a pool is also not a problem, you can have
millions without any issues. It's the number of pools which will haunt
you later on.

Is this a general performance issue?
Well, if we read "pool", this gave us the basic idea/concept to put all
per-customers
data into it.
Please sched some light in 8-)
Kind regards,
Oliver.
