12+3 means that all writes touch every node. Notably, backfill / recovery are writes. I suggest that 6+3 would suffice wrt capacity but offer a better experience. When possible, there is benefit in having at least one more failure domain than replicas, otherwise every OSD down has an outsize impact on capacity. > On Sep 7, 2022, at 5:22 PM, Bailey Allison <ballison@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > Just to add onto Danny, I think a K+M of 12+3 with setting the failure > domain at the host level would give you what you want?
