[ceph-users] Location of Crush Map and CEPH metadata

Hello, I have been googling for the answer to this and not found it. Does anyone know this? Where does CEPH store the crush map and the critical cluster metadata? What prevents a loss of this metadata when a node is lost? -- Thank you for your time, Edward H. Kalk IV Information Technology Dept.
