I know ceph is meant to operate at scale, that’s why we are all here. But if you have a 180 disk cluster, you have 6-9 nodes, is nothing when you add a node. I would just do the manual install and especially with a production environment, considering all the 'little' bugs surfacing here. I doubt if ceph-deploy is even much faster. -----Original Message----- From: Matthew Vernon [mailto:mv3@xxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: donderdag 8 november 2018 10:36 To: ceph-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Cc: Marc Roos Subject: Re: ceph 12.2.9 release On 08/11/2018 09:17, Marc Roos wrote: > > And that is why I don't like ceph-deploy.

Ceph is meant to be operated at scale, which is why many admins will have automation (ceph-ansible, etc.) in place.
