Due to the nature of CRUSH -- being a deterministic pseudorandom distribution and all -- the writer does not get to choose where n object is stored. The closest thing you can do is have a RADOS pool with a CRUSH ruleset that puts the primary on that machine. As you'd need a pool per machine, this really doesn't scale up well. Perhaps the benefits of the scheme you are envisioning aren't as great as you think they would be. Often accessing lots of fast servers over a fast network performs better than a single local disk. -- 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
