If you want to have a swap, why not create a ramdisk and then format/use it as swap? -Original Message- From: Brent Kennedy [mailto:bkenn...@cfl.rr.com] Sent: 05 April 2020 20:13 To: 'Martin Verges' Cc: 'ceph-users' Subject: [ceph-users] Re: Questions on Ceph cluster without OS disks

I suspect Ceph is configured in their case to send all logs off-node to a central syslog server, ELK, etc. With Jewel this seemed to result in daemons crashing, but probably it’s since been fixed (I haven’t tried). > that is much less than I experienced of allocated disk space in case >

Hello Martin, that is much less than I experienced of allocated disk space in case something is wrong with the cluster. I have defined at least 10GB and there were situations (in the past) when this space was quickly allocated by syslog user.log messages daemon.log Regards Thomas Am 23.03.2020

Hello Samuel, we from croit.io don't use NFS to boot up Servers. We copy the OS directly into the RAM (approximately 0.5-1GB). Think of it like a container, you start it and throw it away when you no longer need it. This way we can save the slots of OS harddisks to add more storage per node and

I would say it is not a 'proven technology' otherwise you would see a wide spread implementation and adaptation of this method. However if you really need the physical disk space, it is a solution. Although I also would have questions on creating an extra redundant environment to service
