You would need to modify the crush map, so that it would store two of the same replica's on the same host, however I'm not sure how you would go about this and still make sure that at least 1 other replica is on a different host. But to be honest with the amount of OSD's you will have, the data loss probability with a replica size of 2 is not as bad as when you have much larger clusters so you may decide that size 2 is fine. But as always, make sure you have backups.

Can you set replica 3 with two nodes and 6-8 OSD's? one would have to tweak the crush map? -- Lindsay _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list ceph-users@lists.ceph.com http://lists.ceph.com/listinfo.cgi/ceph-users-ceph.com
