The question I have regarding this setup is, how can you guarantee that the 12 m chunks will be located evenly across the two rooms. What would happen if by chance all 12 chunks were in room B? Usually you use failure domains to make sure of the distribution of chunks across domains, but you can't do that here as you are using host as failure domain, but need room to be somehow included in that. ________________________________ From: Fabien Sirjean <fsirjean@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: 24 March 2023 12:00 To: ceph-users <ceph-users@xxxxxxx> Subject: EC profiles where m>k (EC 8+12) CAUTION: This email originates from outside THG Hi Ceph users! I've been proposed an interesting EC setup I hadn't thought about before. Scenario is : we have two server rooms and want to store ~4PiB with the ability to loose 1 server room without loss of data or RW availability. For the context, performance is not needed (cold storage mostly, used as a big filesystem). The idea is to use EC 8+12 over 24 servers (12 on each server room), so if we loose 1 room we still have half of the EC parts (10/20) and are able to loose 2 more servers before reaching the point where we loose data. I find this pretty elegant when working on a two-sites context, as efficiency is 40% (better than 33% three times replication) and the redundancy is good. What do you think of this setup ? Did you ever used EC profiles with M > K ? Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
