I have some experience with Kingstons - which model do you plan to use? Shorter version: don't use Kingstons. For anything. Ever. Jan > On 30 Sep 2015, at 11:24, Andrija Panic wrote: > > Make sure to check this blog page >

Thanks to all for responses. Great thread with a lot of info. I will go with the 3 partitions on Kingstone SDD for 3 OSDs on each node. Thanks Jiri On 30/09/2015 00:38, Lionel Bouton wrote: Hi, Le 29/09/2015 13:32, Jiri Kanicky a écrit : Hi Lionel. Thank you for your reply. In this case I

Jiri, if you colocate more Journals on 1 SSD (we do...), make sure to understand the following: - if SSD dies, all OSDs that had their journals on it, are lost... - the more journals you put on single SSD (1 journal being 1 partition), the worse performance, since total SSD performance is not

Hi Lionel. Thank you for your reply. In this case I am considering to create separate partitions for each disk on the SSD drive. Would be good to know what is the performance difference, because creating partitions is kind of waste of space. One more question, is it a good idea to move

I think I got over 10% improvement when I changed from cooked journal file on btrfs based system SSD to a raw partition on the system SSD. The cluster I've been testing with is all consumer grade stuff running on top of AMD piledriver and kaveri based mobo's with the on-board SATA. My SSDs

Hi all, I am trying to set up a three-node ceph cluster. Each node is running RHEL 7.1 and has three 1TB HDD drives for OSDs (sdb, sdc, sdd) and an SSD partition (/dev/sda6) for the journal. I zapped the HDDs and used the following to create OSDs: # ceph-deploy --overwrite-conf osd create
