Re: [ceph-users] Two clusters on same hosts - mirroring

I'm sure you can set up 2 different clusters in the same machine and configure them to mirror RBD's between them. I do not believe that this has any usefulness other than learning the commands and testing scripts. No benchmarking will be useful at all and any problems you run into might just be
