Hi Massimiliano, You’ll need to update the rule with something like that: rule rep6 { ruleset 1 type replicated min_size 6 max_size 6 step take root step choose firstn 3 type host step choose firstn 2 type osd step emit } Testing it with crushtool and assuming a crush map with osd0-3 are in host1, osd4-7 in host2 and osd8-12 in host3 I get the following results crushtool -i map.bin --test --rule 1 --show-mappings --x 1 --num-rep 6 CRUSH rule 1 x 1 [3,0,9,11,5,7] Cheers, Maxime On 27/02/17 13:22, "ceph-users on behalf of Massimiliano Cuttini" <ceph-users-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx on behalf of max@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: Dear all, i have 3 nodes with 4 OSD each. And I would like to have 6 replicas. So 2 replicas for nodes. Does anybody know how to allow CRUSH to use twice the same node but different OSD?
