Is going to be better to use 2 x 72GB SAS disks as the Journals > right?, any other recommendations? Also when running the "ceph-deploy new" > command to create the cluster how can i specify the name of the cluster? ceph-deploy takes a few "global" arguments, one of them being the cluster name (see `ceph-deploy --help`). Keep in mind that because it is a global flag, all subsequent commands will need to have that flag passed in. This is basically because the naming conventions will accommodate the name of the cluster, which will default to "ceph" if not specified. > > Again sorry if they are very newbie questions but as i said im new to Ceph. > > Thanks in advance, > > Best regards, > > > German Anders > > > > > > > > > > _______________________________________________ > 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
