Improving responsiveness of KVM guests on Ceph storage

ceph for small cluster?

2012-12-30 Thread Miles Fidelman
Hi Folks, I'm wondering how ceph would work in a small cluster that supports a mix of engineering and modest production (email, lists, web server for several small communities). Specifically, we have a rack with 4 medium-horsepower servers, each with 4 disk drives, running Xen (debian dom0
