Don't forget if you have server failure you might loose many objects. If the failure domain is osd, it means let's say you have 12 drives in each server, 8+2 EC in an unlucky situation can be located in 1 server also.

Email received from outside the company. If in doubt don't click links nor open attachments! ________________________________ Hello, In some documentation I was reading last night about laying out OSDs, it was suggested that if more that one OSD uses the same NVMe drive, the failure-domain should probably be set to node. However, for a small cluster the inclination is to use EC-pools and failure-domain = OSD. I was wondering if there is a middle ground - could we define failure-domain = NVMe? I think the map would need to be defined manually in the same way that failure-domain = rack requires information about which nodes are in each rack. Example: My latest OSD nodes have 8 HDDs and 3 U.2 NVMe. I'd set up the WAL/DB for with HDDs per OSD (wasted space on the 3rd NVMe). Across all my OSD nodes I will have 8 HDDs and either 2 or 3 NVMe devices per node - 15 total NVMe devices. My preferred EC-pool profile is 8+2. It seems that this profile could be safely dispersed across 15 failure domains, resulting in protection against NVMe failure. Please let me know if this is worth pursuing. Thanks. -Dave -- Dave Hall Binghamton University kdhall@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx 607-760-2328 (Cell) 607-777-4641 (Office) _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list -- ceph-users@xxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to ceph-users-leave@xxxxxxx ________________________________ This message is confidential and is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s).
