That is hard to answer generically. ceph-volume will not create multi-disk volumes. One disk, one OSD is still the recommendation afaik. However there are certainly scenarios where multi-disk OSDs are sensible. For example if you have a machine that has _a lot_ of disks attached but lacks CPU and RAM to run as many OSDs as disks, it can make sense to deploy one OSD on multiple disks. > Thanks in advance, > Óscar >_______________________________________________ >ceph-users mailing list >ceph-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx >http://lists.ceph.com/listinfo.cgi/ceph-users-ceph.com _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list -- ceph-users@xxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to ceph-users-leave@xxxxxxx
