[ceph-users] RAID underlying a Ceph config

2014-08-28 Thread LaBarre, James (CTR) A6IT
Having heard some suggestions on RAID configuration under Gluster (we have 
someone else doing that evaluation, I'm doing the Ceph piece), I'm wondering 
what (if any) RAID configurations would be recommended for Ceph.   I have the 
impression that striping data could counteract/undermine data replication (with 
PGs potentially being on multiple disks, rather than within a single 
disk-oriented OSD).

There aren't too many people running RAID under Ceph, as it's a second
layer of redundancy that in normal circumstances is a bit pointless.
But there are scenarios where it might be useful. You might check the
list archives for the anti-cephalopod question thread.
