Thank you Gregor for the reply. I have read that page. It does say what a Crush 
map is and how it’s used by monitors and OSDs, but does not say how or where 
the map is stored in the system. Is it replicated on all OSD, vis a distributed 
hidden pool? Is it stored on the local linux disk of the host operating system 
on which the monitor daemons run?
