Alternately the use case is HPC scratch space where you can regenerate the data by re-running jobs and speed/capacity are more important than long term storage, you might consider 2x replication with min_size 1.  That probably falls under the "not caring about your data" use case though. ;)

And btw EC with k=2, m=2, min_size=3, is also probably fine, and has only x2 space cost. -- dan On Wed, Feb 19, 2020 at 5:46 PM Paul Emmerich wrote: > > x2 replication is perfectly fine as long as you also keep min_size at 2 ;) > > (But that means you're offline as soon as something is offline)

x2 replication is perfectly fine as long as you also keep min_size at 2 ;) (But that means you're offline as soon as something is offline) Paul -- Paul Emmerich Looking for help with your Ceph cluster? Contact us at https://croit.io croit GmbH Freseniusstr. 31h 81247 München www.croit.io

Hi, 2x replication was for a performance test. We use 3x in production. -- dan On Wed, Feb 19, 2020 at 3:18 PM Frank R wrote: > > Hi all, > > I have noticed that RedHat is willing to support 2x replication with > NVME drives. Additionally, I have seen CERN presentation where they > use a 2x
