I would say the levels of redundancy could roughly be translated like this.

 RAID0          one replica (size=1)
 RAID1          two replicas (size=2)
 RAID10         two replicas (size=2)
 RAID5          erasure coding (erasure-code-m=1)
 RAID6          erasure coding (erasure-code-m=2)
 RAIDZ3         erasure coding (erasure-code-m=3)

A seven disk RAID6 (4 data, 2 parity and 1 hot spare) would then be similar to a Ceph erasure coded pool on seven OSDs with erasure-code-k=4 and erasure-code-m=2.

Kind regards,
Jerker Nyberg.

Hi All,

What are the kinds of raid levels of  storage provided by Ceph block devices ?

Thanks
