Lets say you have 3 hosts with 4 data disks (HDD) each. Which would be the better solution?
Keeping in mind that Linux doesn't like when a drive starts with read/write errors.
1: having 4 OSDs on each of the 3 hosts. A simple replication rule on 3 different disks. Would the replication be automatically on the 3 hosts or do you need to adapt the standart replication rule for that ?
2: having in each host a Raid controller with the 4 disks in a Raid 0 configuration and then 1 OSD on each host. This solution will probably be less CPU intensive.
So what are your opinions?
Best regards, Guy
