Hi George, We use 4/2 for our deployment and it works fine - but it's a huge waste of space :) Our reason is because we want to be able to lose a data center and still have ceph running. You could accomplish that with size=1 on an emergency basis, but we didn't like the redundancy loss. Cheers, D. -----Original Message----- From: Kyriazis, George [mailto:george.kyriazis@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, March 25, 2022 9:54 AM To: ceph-users <ceph-users@xxxxxxx> Subject: Even number of replicas? Hello ceph-users, I was wondering if it is good practice to have an even number of replicas in a replicated pool. For example, have size=4 and min_size=2. Thank you!
