Just use 1 NVMe drive for 2 SAS drives and provision 300GB for WAL/DB for each OSD (see related threads on this mailing list about why that exact size). > > This way if a NVMe fails, you'll only lose 2 OSD. > > Also, what size of WAL/DB partitions do you have now, and what spillover size? Generally agreed against making a single giant striped bucket. Note this may be a good use for RAID10 on WAL/DB if you are committed to multiple disks. I generally put WAL/DB on RAID10 boot disks. It’s important to have reliable WAL/DB, but also important that the machine actually boots in the first place. With enough RAM and non-interactive use, most of the boot bits will be cached so there is no contention for the channel. Happy for any critique on this as well!
