Hi Nigel,

When I use K+M hosts in the EC pool, if M hosts get down, still have K hosts 
active, Can I continue write data to the pool ? Since there only have K hosts, 
not K+M hosts, When client write a data to EC pool , Primary OSD will split the 
data to K data pieces,but how about the M coding pieces? is it still be 
calculated  and where it should be hold ?

Yes.  

The default is equivalent to "no two chunks in the same host". When you have 
K+M chunks, it means you need at least K+M hosts. It is however better to have 
K+M+1 hosts or more because CRUSH may fail to map otherwise. You can test the 
mapping as demonstrated at 
https://github.com/ceph/ceph/blob/master/src/test/cli/crushtool/bad-mappings.t: 
if it succeeds with this tool, it will also succeed on your actual cluster.  

Cheers
