It is actually easier when you consider a typical proxmox cluster with openvz and kvm machines and recall that openvz currently requires simfs (btw: ploop is out of beta not and could be supported too). In a small cluster that runs a mixed load, there is no space for allocating entire disks to ceph. There is no need for that too. The key here is small: 3 to 6 nodes total. >> To me this is a limiting factor without a tangible advantage. > We do not set any limits on ceph - you can use the original packages like you > want. Following the same reasoning I could use openvz and kvm+qemu without proxmox at all. I have done this is the past, but shall I do so now? What I am talking about is making proxmox a better fit for a more general purpose. Che choice to limit osd to physical disks when there is no such limitation in the underlying technology is a plain arbitrary choice (political choice if you wish) which is actually removing from the potential customer base and not adding to it. I really do not understand. _______________________________________________ pve-devel mailing list pve-devel@pve.proxmox.com http://pve.proxmox.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pve-devel
