If there isn't too big a performance hit, it makes disk disposal (we expect disks to die, right?) much simpler. OK. Thanks. But if I have a big volumes in TB size (10 TB volume) and writing/reading from the big volumes - will impact on performance like write and read speed? I'd like to know, too. -kb Not specifically related to Ceph, but I built a 14 disk RAID 6 array (mdadm) for a recent "secure high performance seeding device in a briefcase" project and used dmcrypt on it. I could easily obtain over 1GB/s reads and writes. From tests there was no noticeable performance impact and CPU usage on a Xeon E3 was nothing to be concerned about. All modern CPU's will HW accelerate the process if you use the AES-XTS cipher, I suspect there might be a severe performance impact without. Also as Ceph+network itself brings a fair amount of overhead, I wouldn't suspect that dmcrypt would introduce any noticeable overhead of its own.
