Hello! In a two (2) rack Ceph cluster, with 15 hosts per rack (10 OSD per host / 150 OSDs per rack), is it possible to create a ruleset for a pool such that the Primary and Secondary PGs/replicas are placed in one rack and Tertiary PG/replica is placed in the other rack? root standard { id -1 # do not change unnecessarily # weight 734.400 alg straw hash 0 # rjenkins1 item rack1 weight 367.200 item rack2 weight 367.200 } Given there are only two (2) buckets, but three (3) replica, is it even possible? I think following Giant blueprint is trying to address scenario I described above.. Is the following blueprint targeted for Giant release? http://wiki.ceph.com/Planning/Blueprints/Giant/crush_extension_for_more_flexible_object_placement Regards, Amit Vijairania | Cisco Systems, Inc. --*--
