Hi all,
I believe most exiting setups use 1 disk per OSD. Is this going to be the
most common setup in the future ? With the move to lvm, will this prefer the
use of multiple disks per OSD ? On the other side i also see nvme vendors
recommending multiple OSDs ( 2,4 ) per disk as disks are getting faster for
a single OSD process.
Can anyone shed some light/recommendations into this please ?
You don't put more than one OSD on spinning disk because access times will
kill your performance - they already do [kill your performance] and asking
hdds to do double/triple/quadruple/... duty is only going to make it far
more worse. On the other hand, SSD drives have access time so short that
they're most often bottlenecked by SSD users and not SSD itself, so it makes
perfect sense to put 2-4 OSDs on one OSD.
LVM isn't going to change much in that pattern, it may be easier to setup
RAID0 HDD OSDs, but that's questionable use case, and OSDs with JBODs under
them are counterproductive (single disk failure would be caught by Ceph, but
replacing failed drives will be more difficult -- plus, JBOD OSDs
significantly extend the damage area once such OSD fails).
