Hi David, Thanks for explaining that, makes sense. (Though I guess the docs aren't very clear on that, but ok.) I have a follow up question on your suggestion to modify the crush map though. I've seen a few examples on how to use crush rules to place primary copies on SSDs, and secondary copies on HDDs. In fact, one such example is in the main Ceph docs. However, they all seem to be based on the premise of having two types of OSD servers. One type would have *only* SSDs, and the other *only* HDDs. However, that's not the scenario I'm investigating. I would like each of my OSD servers to be the same. Each would contain a number of SSDs, and a number of HDDs. After reading up on crush rules, I think I understand how to setup a basic rule that would place the primary copy on a SSD, and the other copies on HDDs. But what I haven't figured out yet, is it possible to avoid placing one of the secondary copies on the same host that stores the primary copy? I found an earlier thread [1] where you've hinted at using racks for this, but in that thread I think there is also some confusion about SSD/HDD only servers, versus "hybrid" servers. In addition, I found an issue in RedHats tracker [2], which also outlines this problem. With my current understanding of crush rules, I'm not sure the setup I had in mind is feasible?
