Potentially you can put a replication based cache tier pool in front of an EC base pool which should work. I've tested this kind of setup with RBD and it appears to work fine. Currently the end result is pretty slow, but we may be able to improve it with time. An interesting use case to be sure. :) Mark > > many thanks > > stijn > _______________________________________________ > ceph-users mailing list > ceph-users at lists.ceph.com > http://lists.ceph.com/listinfo.cgi/ceph-users-ceph.com
