Christian; What is your failure domain? If your failure domain is set to OSD / drive, and 2 OSDs share a DB / WAL device, and that DB / WAL device dies, then portions of the data could drop to read-only (or be lost...).
Ceph is really set up to own the storage hardware directly. It doesn't (usually) make sense to put any kind of RAID / JBOD between Ceph and the hardware. Thank you, Dominic L.

The main usage is KVM-Images. To improve speed we planned on putting the block.db and WAL onto NVMe-SSDs. The plan was to put 2x1TB in each host. One option I thought of was to RAID 1 them for better redundancy, I don't know how high the risk is of corrupting the block.db by one failed SSD block. Or should I just one for WAL+block.db and use the other one as fast storage? Thank you all very much!
