When we use a replicated pool of size 3 for example, each data, a block of 4MB is written on one PG which is distributed on 3 hosts (by default). The osd holding the primary will copy the block to OSDs holding the secondary and third PG.
With erasure code, let's take a raid5 schema like k=2 and m=1. Does Ceph buffer the data till it reach a amount of 8 MB which it can then divide into two blocks of 4MB and a parity control of 4MB ? Does it just divide the data in two chunks whatever the size ? Will it use then PG1 on OSD.A to store the first block, PG1 on OSD.X to store the second block of data and PG1 on OSD.z to store the parity ? _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list ceph-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.ceph.com/listinfo.cgi/ceph-users-ceph.com
