- Description
-
Sets the default size, in bytes, of a chunk of an object stripe for erasure coded pools. Every object of size S will be stored as N stripes, with each data chunk receiving
stripe unit
bytes. Each stripe ofN * stripe unit
bytes will be encoded/decoded individually. This option can is overridden by thestripe_unit

- Default
-
3
- osd_pool_default_min_size
- Description
-
Sets the minimum number of written replicas for objects in the pool in order to acknowledge a write operation to the client. If minimum is not met, Ceph will not acknowledge the write to the client. This setting ensures a minimum number of replicas when operating in

ceph.log
. It includes the warningcluster [WRN] Large omap object found
