Comparing different scenarios

Hello all.

 

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

 

 

 

 

Better do not use RAID, and give the drives as separate drives to the system.
