Ceph uses CRUSH (http://ceph.com/docs/master/rados/operations/crush-map/) to determine object placement. The default generated crush maps are sane, in that they will put replicas in placement groups into separate failure domains. You do not need to worry about this simple failure case, but you should consider the network and disk i/o consequences of re-replicating large amounts of data.

Presuming you have a server containing 8-10 disks, your duplicated placement groups could end up on the same system. From diagrams I’ve seen they show duplicates going to separate nodes, but is this in fact how it handles it? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: If you have received this email in error, please immediately notify the sender by e-mail at the address shown.
