Hello, As many recommendations suggests before, you may set journal size proportional to amount of median (or peak, if expected) writes multiplied, say, by thirty seconds - that`s the safe area and you should not able to suffer because of journal size following this calculation. Twelve SATA disks in theory may have enough output to thrash 10G network but you`ll face lack of IOPS times before almost for sure, and OSD daemons are not working very close to the physical limits speaking of transferring data from/to disk, so fine tuning of spinning storage media still is primary target to play with in such configuration. > _______________________________________________ > ceph-users mailing list > ceph-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx > http://lists.ceph.com/listinfo.cgi/ceph-users-ceph.com _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list ceph-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.ceph.com/listinfo.cgi/ceph-users-ceph.com
