And Ceph is a seriously hard (ab)user of the wear for SSDs. Now if you over dimension the allocated space, it looks like it is not used. But onderneath in the SSD firmware writting is spread out over all cells of the SSD. So the wear is evely distibuted over all componets of the SSD. And by overcommitting you have thus prolonged the life of you SSD. So it is either buy more now, but less replacing. Or allocate stricktly, and replace sooner. --WjW _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list ceph-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.ceph.com/listinfo.cgi/ceph-users-ceph.com
