Hello Yann, Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, I found it by chance during a search, since you didn't include me in the reply, I never got it on my email.
I am interested in what you mentioned so far. I'm not looking into making any production grade cluster, just a couple of nodes for testing ceph and its failure scenarios. Current ubuntu and Debian based distributions for Banana pro are based on kernel 3.4.103. I see you used a more recent kernel, did you get it ready made or you compiled it yourself ? I actually have the choice now of attaching the osd disks via either sata or usb. In buying those Chinese 16gb ssd disks. They are good for i/o but not for write speed. If you could provide any more info, then it would be great. Thanks!
