No problem. They have been around for quite some time now. Even speaking to the 
Ceph engineers over at supermicro while we spec'd our hardware, they agreed as 
well.

Adam; 

I'd like to see that / those white papers. 

I suspect what they're advocating is multiple OSD daemon processes per NVMe 
device. This is something which can improve performance. Though I've never done 
it, I believe you partition the device, and then create your OSD pointing at a 
partition. 

Thank you,

Isn't this somewhat reliant on the OSD type? 

Redhat/Micron/Samsung/Supermicro have all put out white papers backing the idea 
of 2 copies on NVMe's as safe for production.

yes, that's correct but then you seriously risk trashing your data
