    Ceph stretch pools in squid

    Hi, Has anyone experimented with ceph stretch pools that seem to have appeared in squid? (not stretched clusters) It seems rather new, but rather interesting, as it may not require the whole cluster to be set to stretched, while still dealing with the guarantee of OSDs and monitors being on...

    [TUTORIAL] FabU: can I use Ceph in a _very_ small cluster?

    Ceph is great, but it needs some resources above the theoretical minimum to work reliably. My assumptions for the following text: you want to use Ceph because... why not? you want to use High Availability - which requires Shared Storage (note that a complete solution needs more things like a...

    CEPH advise

    I want some advice regarding CEPH. I like to use it in the future when I have a 3 node cluster. The idea is to have 2 NVME ssd's per node. 1 1TB ssd for the OS and 1 4TB ssd for the CEPH storage. Is this a good approach? Btw I'm think of WD SN850X or Samsung 990 Pro SSD's

    How to safely enable KRBD in a 5 node production environment running 7.4.19

    I’m running a 5-node Proxmox cluster on version 7.4.19 with two storage pools: one on spindle drives and the other on SSDs. Both pools host live VMs, but performance is slower than expected, with high IOWait states. I’ve read that enabling KRBD can improve performance, but I haven’t found clear...

    Ceph erasure code plugin set to clay using pveceph pool create

    I think the answer is "no", but I wanted to check whether there was support in the "pveceph pool create" command to specify which erasure code plugin it should use - specifically "clay". Or, would we need to create the pool in ceph manually and add it as specified here...
