Hello,
(BTW, Nautilus 14.2.7 on Debian non-container.)
We're about to purchase more OSD nodes for our cluster, but I have a
couple questions about hardware choices. Our original nodes were 8 x
12TB SAS drives and a 1.6TB Samsung NVMe card for WAL, DB, etc.
We chose the NVMe card for performance since it has an 8 lane PCIe
interface. However, we're currently BlueFS spillovers.
The Tyan chassis we are considering has the option of 4 x U.2 NVMe bays
- each with 4 PCIe lanes, (and 8 SAS bays). It has occurred to me that
I might stripe 4 1TB NVMe drives together to get much more space for
WAL/DB and a net performance of 16 PCIe lanes.
Any thoughts on this approach?
Also, any thoughts/recommendations on 12TB OSD drives? For
price/capacity this is a good size for us, but I'm wondering if my
BlueFS spillovers are resulting from using drives that are too big. I
also thought I might have seen some comments about cutting large drives
into multiple OSDs - could that be?
Thanks.
-Dave
