hi thomas, just a quick note. If you have a few large osds, ceph will have problems distributing the data based on the number of placement groups and the number of objects per placement group, ... I recommend reading the concept of placement groups. ___________________________________ Clyso GmbH - Ceph Foundation Member support@clyso.com https://www.clyso.com Am 22.06.2021 um 12:56 schrieb Thomas Roth:
Thank you all for the clarification!
I just did not grasp the concept before, probably because I am used to those systems that form a layer on top of the local file system. If ceph does it all, down to the magnetic platter, all the better.
Cheers Thomas

That is the idea, what is wrong with this concept? If you aggregate disks, you still aggregate 70 disks, and you still be having 70 disks. Everything you do that ceph can't be aware of creates a potential misinterpretation of the reality and make ceph act in a way it should not.

Hi all,
newbie question:
The documentation seems to suggest that with ceph-volume, one OSD is created for each HDD (cf. 4-HDD-example in https://docs.ceph.com/en/latest/rados/configuration/bluestore-config- ref/)
This seems odd: what if a server has a finite number of disks? I was going to try cephfs on ~10 servers with 70 HDD each. That would make each system having to deal with 70 OSDs, on 70 LVs?
Really no aggregation of the disks?
