Thanks gentlemen, I hope to add more OSD since we will need a good deal more than 2.3TB and I fo want to leave free space / margins.
I am also thinking of reducing the replication to2 . I am sure I can google how to do that. But I am sure most of my results are going to be people telling me not to do it. Can you direct me to a good tutorial on how to do so. And, youre are right, I am a beginner.

Hi, >> My question is how much total CEPH storage does this allow me? Only 2.3TB? >> or does the way CEPH duplicates data enable more than 1/3 of the storage? > 3 means 3, so 2.3TB. Note that Ceph is spare, so that can help quite a bit. To expand on this, you probably want to keep some margins and not run at your cluster 100% :) (especially if you are running RBD with thin provisioning). By default, “ceph status” will issue a warning at 85% full (osd nearfull ratio). You should also consider that you need some free space for auto healing to work (if you plan to use more than 3 OSDs on a size=3 pool).
