Chapter 31. Creating a sample erasure coded pool
The simplest erasure coded pool is equivalent to RAID5 and requires at least three hosts:
$ ceph osd pool create ecpool 50 50 erasure pool 'ecpool' created $ echo ABCDEFGHI | rados --pool ecpool put NYAN - $ rados --pool ecpool get NYAN - ABCDEFGHI
Note
the 50 in pool create stands for the number of placement groups.
