So if I have 3 hosts, each runnunig 2 OSDs, pool size=3 What happens if I shut down one Host. choose => no redistribution to remaining host chooseleaf => data is copied to remaining OSDs Is that right? _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list ceph-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.ceph.com/listinfo.cgi/ceph-users-ceph.com
