[ceph-users] New 3 node Ceph cluster

Hi, I am planning to create a new 3 node ceph storage cluster. I will be using Cephfs + with samba for max 10 clients for upload and download. Storage Node HW is Intel Xeon E5v2 8 core single Proc, 32GB RAM and 10Gb Nic 2 nos., 6TB SATA HDD 24 Nos. each node, OS separate SSD disk. Earlier I have tested orchestration using ceph-deploy in the test setup. now, is there any other alternative to ceph-deploy? Can I restrict folder access to the user using cephfs + vfs samba or should I use ceph client + samba? Ubuntu or Centos? Any block size consideration for object size, metadata when using cephfs? Idea or suggestion from existing users. I am also going to start to explore all the above. regards Amudhan
