Hi,
I'm planning to make a ceph cluster but I have a serious doubt. At this moment we have ~10 servers DELL R730xd with 12x4TB SATA disks. The official ceph docs says:
"We recommend using a dedicated drive for the operating system and software, and one drive for each Ceph OSD Daemon you run on the host."
I could use for example 1 disk for the OS and 11 for OSD data. In the operating system I would run 11 daemons to control the OSDs. But...what happen to the cluster if the disk with the OS fails?? maybe the cluster thinks that 11 OSD failed and try to replicate all that data over the cluster...that sounds no good.
Should I use 2 disks for the OS making a RAID1? in this case I'm "wasting" 8TB only for ~10GB that the OS needs.
In all the docs that i've been reading says ceph has no unique single point of failure, so I think that this scenario must have a optimal solution, maybe somebody could help me.
Thanks in advance.
Félix Barbeira.
