Morning all .. I have a simple 3 node 2 osd cluster setup serving VM Images (proxmox). The two OSD's are on the two VM hosts. Size is set to 2 for replication on both OSD's. SSD journals. - if the Ceph Client (VM quest over RBD) is accessing data that is stored on the local OSD, will it avoi

Great! Some more folowups:) 1. In what stack is the driver used in that case if QEMU communicates directly with librados? 2. With QEMU-librados I would guess the new kernel targets/LIO would not work? They give better performance and lower CPU.. 3. Where is the kernel driver used in that case?..
