It's based on Debian, because Debian makes live boot really easy with squashfs + overlayfs. We also have a half-finished CentOS/RHEL-based version somewhere, but that requires way more RAM because it doesn't use overlayfs (or didn't when we last checked, I guess we need to check RHEL 8 again) Current image size is 400 MB + 30 MB for kernel + initrd and it comes with everything you need for Ceph. We don't even run aggressive compression on the squashfs, it's just lzo. You can test it for yourself in a VM: https://croit.io/croit-virtual-demo Paul -- Paul Emmerich Looking for help with your Ceph cluster?
