Is this good practise to initiate a new disk with: > Which SSDs (model)? Some SSDs are patently unsuited for OSD journals, while others will have no issues keeping up with the OS and journal duties. The sda below suggest that your RAID1 is a HW one? That's a bad choice on two counts, a HW RAID can't be TRIM'ed last I checked. And you would get a lot more performance out of a software RAID1 with journals on both SSDs. A RAID 1 still might be OK if you can/want trade performance for redundancy. > ceph-deploy disk zap osdserver1:sdb > ceph-deploy osd prepare osdserver1:sdb:/dev/sda > I'm not a ceph-deploy expert or fan, but I'm pretty sure you will need to create the partitions beforehand and then assign them accordingly.
