Being disk-bound, and considering that even very old CPUs hardly have trouble keeping up with the much slower storage devices, I can't imagine a reason for ceph or anything portable across multiple architectures to tech to *demand* newer CPUs of any of the supported architectures. Hopefully there will always be some portable fallback to resort to. >> Next in my wishlist is to try to fix the issues that I'm told are >> getting in the way of ceph's running on 32-bit x86.

Oh, thanks, I didn't mean to burden anyone with that, it's just something that I care about and would be happy to undertake myself. I was just surprised that there weren't i686 ceph packages in Fedora 30, and found comments in the spec file suggesting it didn't work, but I didn't look into why yet. -- Alexandre Oliva, freedom fighter he/him https://FSFLA.org/blogs/lxo Be the change, be Free!
