Thanks a lot for all your quick responses, I really appreciate that!
One of our customers is considering using such a setup for CephFS, so your experience is very valuable here. I guess the most important question would be: did you experience any issues regarding disaster recovery if you faced any? Like the advanced recovery steps from the docs, did they work as well as for a replicated default pool apart from being slower?
Sorry for the late response. We have not needed any disaster recovery on this cluster (yet). My colleague reminded me that we actually installed the cluster with Octopus and not Pacific. I do not think "--force" was required at the time, the Octopus & Pacific docs do not mention such an option, although it advised to use replication for the default pool: https://docs.ceph.com/en/octopus/cephfs/createfs Loïc. -- | Loic Tortay <tortay@cc.in2p3.fr> - IN2P3 Computing Centre |
