HI Reed, That is what I'm doing right now, separate journal SSD partition for each OSD HDD. I just thinking of possibility to have better peak write performance without consuming more SSD capacity due to possibility of using larger journal of an OSD if other OSDs don't use it at same time. For example, if I have 3 OSDs each with 5GB journal partition, the write performance will be limited of 5GB journal. If I can make it as 15GB single journal partition for all OSDs, I think I can have 15GB peak write performance possibility if only one OSD writes at the same time (or 7.5GB peak write performance if 2 OSD write at the same time) without consuming more SSD capacity. On reality, not all OSDs write at same time, right?
