this is my first attempt at using & installing Petasan. I'm coming from Dell PowerVault, and lately Zetavault. My zetavault runs off of an 8g USB drive. For my first install of Petasan, I got 32g USB drive, and tried to install, and the installer said minimum 64g. That is surprising.
Why does it need so much space ?

First installing on usb is not supported. if you are testing you can use v 2.0 which can work on 32 GB space, or you can run PetaSAN virtualized again for testing.
Ceph monitors use the system disk, they store all the cluster maps required for correct operation, in a recovery situation, the storage space they use can grow + they require fast disk access. We also use the system disk for stats data storage.
