This would make sense only for the readonly cache mode, where the cache version will be identical to the base pool version. Right now the answer is no--it's not smart enough to do that. In general, you want to have redundancy in the cache pool, too, so that you can tolerate disk and node failures in the cache. sage _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list ceph-users@lists.ceph.com http://lists.ceph.com/listinfo.cgi/ceph-users-ceph.com
