Hi, In case of pool a cluster where most pools are with erasure code 4+2, what would you consider as value for cluster_size?

For example, for 60 10K rpm SAS drives each capable of 200 4K IOPS and a replicated pool with size 3: (~200 * 60 * 0.75) / 3 = ~3000 IOPS with block size = 4K. That's what the OP is getting, give or take. /Z On Thu, 10 Aug 2023 at 20:20, Anthony D'Atri <a...@dreamsnake.net <mailto:a...@dreamsnake.net>> wrote: > > > > > > Good afternoon everybody! > > > > I have the following scenario: > > Pool RBD replication x3 > > 5 hosts with 12 SAS spinning disks each > > Old hardware?
