Is it possible to recover data when two nodes with all physical disks are lost for any reason?
You have one copy of each object on each node and each node runs a MON. If two nodes fail then the cluster will cease to function as the remaining MON will not be able to gain quorum. In this worst case you would need to manually edit the MON map and remove the two failed MONs. The remaining MON will then be "lonely" and will be able to reach quorum with itself. The cluster will work again. In this moment the data will be available again, but read-only. This is because there are less than "min_size" object copies available. The next step would be to add new nodes (and MONs). Reduce min_size for each pool to 1 to tell the cluster that it should be recover from the last remaining copy. After that has been done increase min_size to 2 again. While recovery runs there is an increased risk to lose data when a disk in the remaining node fails.
What is the maximum number of fault tolerance for the cluster?
Such a cluster can stand the loss of two nodes without data loss. If no disk in the remaining node fails. To increase fault tolerance you need to streamline your processes and replace a failed node immediately before the next one fails. In such small clusters each consecutive failure can lead to data loss. Best would be to add more nodes.
