Hi Lindsay,

Sorry to keep coming back to this :( but we're adding a 3rd node to
our cluster which brings ceph back into the picture ...

Is there a particular reason that ceph is preferred to glusterfs?
better performance? more fault tolerant?
I haven't deployed glusterfs myself. I think you can put CTs/ISOs/backups on glusterfs but not in ceph-rbd (maybe yes on cephfs). Otherwise I think using ceph-rbd could be better for performance, because you don't have an intermediate filesystem.
Also - my third proxmox node is just a lightweight intel nuc for
quorum - it won't be running VM's or contributing storage. Does the
following setup make sense?

Node1: OSD1 + Monitor

Node2: OSD3 + Monitor

Node1: Monitor Only

Node1 & Node2 are connected via Dual Bonded 1GB Ethernet

Node3 Only has 1GB Ethernet

I think it does. As suggestions, using ssd for journal could improve performance on normal use and also when rebalancing/reconstructing. You can use the nuc for additional backup/iso storage also if it has room for a 2.5" drive.

Cheers
Eneko
