Thanks Stefan for your answer. That totally makes sense, so on my nodes 1, 2 and 3 which will have MON+MGR+MDS I will add an additional SSD disk just for MON. Now because I am planning to use cephadm which deploys everything in containers what would be the best point point in order to mount that dedidcated SSD disk? Would you suggest to simply mount that disk under /var/lib/docker or even /var/lib/docker/volumes and like that have all the containers (MGR+MDS+MON) use the dedicated disk? or is there a ceph.conf config parameter where I can say which disk I want to use for MON? or any other best practice suggestions in this regard? _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list -- ceph-users@xxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to ceph-users-leave@xxxxxxx
