Is there anything about the Marvell CPU that would make OSD run badly? What about mon? It's a pretty limited ratio of CPU/memory to disk, would be the main issue. Typical recommendations are more like 1-2GHz of modern Intel/AMD core per process and 1-2GB of RAM; here you're looking at quite a lot less than that. Still, that doesn't mean it couldn't work if you lower your performance expectations and run some tests on failure handling. :) -Greg Software Engineer #42 @ http://inktank.com | http://ceph.com _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list ceph-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.ceph.com/listinfo.cgi/ceph-users-ceph.com
