Well, if you run with failure-domain=host, then if it
says "I have 8
14TB drives and one failed" or "I have 16 7TB drives and two failed"
isn't going to matter much in terms of recovery, is it?
It would mostly matter for failure-domain=OSD, otherwise it seems about
equal.
Yes, but especially in small clusters, people are changing the failure domain to osd to be
able to use EC (like I have ;))
