raid with Battery Backed write-cache - will allow OSD to ack
writes before hitting spinning rust.
Disagree. See my litany from a few months ago. Use a plain, IT-mode HBA.
Take the $$ you save and put it toward building your cluster out of SSDs
instead of HDDs. That way you donât have to mess with the management
hassles of maintaining and allocating external WAL+DB partitions too.
These things are not really comparable - are they? Cost of SSD vs. HDD is
still in the 6:1 favor of HHD's. Yes SSD would be great but not
nessesarily affordable - or have I missed something that makes the math
work ?
