hi! thanks to all of you, I appreciate this very much! I will have to go through all of your messages a few more times and do some research. so our rule from the intial post does make sure, that, when 1 room goes down it does NOT try to restore 3 replicas in the remaining room but it will only try to create a second replica for each PG that only has 1 at the moment of the outage? i mean: will the ceph cluster try to restore 2 replicas of each PG in the remaining room when every OSD from room 1 is marked as out? _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list -- ceph-users@xxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to ceph-users-leave@xxxxxxx
