Everything is possible, I think there are 3 main risks 1) Hardware failure I would say Ceph is probably one of the safest options in regards to hardware failures, certainly if you start using 4TB+ disks. 2) Config Errors This can be an easy one to say you are safe from. But I would say most outages and data loss incidents I have seen on the mailing lists have been due to poor hardware choice or configuring options such as size=2, min_size=1 or enabling stuff like nobarriers. 3) Ceph Bugs Probably the rarest, but potentially the most scary as you have less control. They do happen and it's something to be aware of How reliable is ceph? > What is the risk about lose my data.? is necessary backup my data? Yes, always backup your data, no matter solution you use. Just like RAID != Backup, neither does ceph. > > Regards. > Pedro. > _______________________________________________ > ceph-users mailing list > ceph-users@lists.ceph.com > http://lists.ceph.com/listinfo.cgi/ceph-users-ceph.com _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list ceph-users@lists.ceph.com http://lists.ceph.com/listinfo.cgi/ceph-users-ceph.com
