The question is do we really need this > in case of rbd block device. I think it depends, what you are planning to do. I was calculating different storage type for our cloud solution lately. I think that there are three different types that make sense (at least for us): - Cheap Object Storage (S3): Many 3,5'' SATA Drives for the storage (probably in a RAID config) A small and cheap SSD for the journal - Basic Block Storage (RBD): Many 2,5'' SATA Drives for the storage (RAID10 and/or mutliple OSDs) Small MaxIOPS SSDs for each OSD journal - High performance Block Storage (RBD) Many large SATA SSDs for the storage (prbably in a RAID5 config) stec zeusram ssd drive for the journal Regards, Christian -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe ceph-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
