Hello, I have a question regarding if Ceph is suitable for small scale deployments. Lets say I have two machines, connected with gbit lan. I want to share data between them, like an ordinary NFS share, but with Ceph instead. My idea is that with Ceph I would have redundancy with two machines having complete copies of the data. I also imagine that the performance could be quite okay in principle, depending on how Ceph works, which I'm not quite sure of. A use case would be to share my home directory on two machines, or three maybe. A workload I'm concerned with is software builds. Would Ceph be competetive in this use-case as compared with a local disk? As far as I can tell Ceph doesn't use the "eventual consistency" approach. Does that mean that all writes have to sync over all the nodes in the Ceph cluster, before the write can be considered complete? Or is one node enough? /Joakim _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list ceph-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.ceph.com/listinfo.cgi/ceph-users-ceph.com
