I'm not quite sure what you mean…the use of the "cluster network" and "public network" are really just intended as conveniences for people with multiple NICs on their box. There's nothing preventing you from running everything on the same network…(and more specifically, from different speed grades to different boxes, but keeping them all on the same network). -- 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
