If your cluster uses replicated pools, the + number of OSDs that can fail without data loss is the number of replicas. + For example: a typical configuration stores an object and two additional + copies (that is: ``size = 3``), but you can configure the number of replicas + on a per-pool basis. For `erasure coded pools <../erasure-code>`_, resilience + is defined as the number of coding chunks (for example, ``m = 2`` in the + **erasure code profile**). + +- **Placement Groups**: You can set the number of placement groups for the + pool. A typical configuration targets approximately 100 placement groups per + OSD, providing optimal balancing without consuming many computing resources. + When setting up multiple pools, be careful to set a reasonable number of + placement groups for each pool and for the cluster as a whole. Note that each + PG belongs to a specific pool: when multiple pools use the same OSDs, make + sure that the **sum** of PG replicas per OSD is in the desired PG per OSD + target range. Use the `pgcalc`_ tool to calculate the number of placement + groups to set for your pool. + +- **CRUSH Rules**: When data is stored in a pool, the placement of the object + and its replicas (or chunks, in the case of erasure-coded pools) in your + cluster is governed by CRUSH rules. Custom CRUSH rules can be created for a + pool if the default rule does not fit your use case. + +- **Snapshots**: The command ``ceph osd pool mksnap`` creates a snapshot of a + pool. + +Pool Names +========== + +Pool names beginning with ``.`` are reserved for use by Ceph's internal +operations.
