I will once again lament the fact that WD Labs built SBCs that sat with their hard drives to make them individual CEPH nodes but never took the hardware to production. It seems to me there's still a market for SBCs that could serve a CEPH OSD on a per-device basis, although with ever increasing density in the storage and hyperconverged space that's probably more of a small business or prosumer solution.
- preisschild 4y agoYeah, those were really cool. I saw some homelab setups using the ODroid HC2 from Hardkernel in a similar way. The 2 issues with this setup were that the HC2 was using a low-performance armv7 processor, with armv7 being a very unsupported platform by most software and the fact that you can't use a flash-based disk for a ceph bluestore metadata device since it only had one SATA port.
