As written, it seems like a bad idea to me, just because you'd be adding complexity for no gain. Can you explain, for instance, why you think it would enable better flexibility, or why it would help with backups? What is it that you intend to back up? Backing up the OS on a storage node should never be necessary, since it should be recreatable from config management, and backing up data on the OSDs is best done on a per-pool basis because the requirements are going to differ by pool and not by OSD. _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list ceph-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.ceph.com/listinfo.cgi/ceph-users-ceph.com
