I have a lot more disks than I have trust in disks. If a drive lost a head then I want it gone. I love the idea of using smart data but can foresee see some implementation issues. We have seen some raid configurations where polling smart will halt all raid operations momentarily. Also, some controllers require you to use their CLI tool to pool for smart vs smartmontools. It would be similarly awesome to embed something like an apdex score against each osd, especially if it factored in hierarchy to identify poor performing osds, nodes, racks, etc.. -- Kyle _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list ceph-users@lists.ceph.com http://lists.ceph.com/listinfo.cgi/ceph-users-ceph.com
