  • I maintained a CEPH cluster a few years back. I can verify that speeds under 10GbE will cause a lot of weird issues. Ideally, you’ll even want a dedicated 10GbE purely for CEPH to do its automatic maintenance stuff and not impact storage clients.

    The PGs is a separate issue. Each PG is like a disk partition. There’s some funky math and guidelines to calculate the ideal number for each pool, based upon disks, OSDs, capacity, replicas, etc. Basically, more PGs means that there are more (but smaller) places for CEPH to store data. This means that balancing over a larger number of nodes and drives is easier. It also means that there’s more metadata to track. So, really, it’s a bit of a balancing act.















  • If you have experience with them, do you think they’re a good idea?

    If they help with treating one’s illness, absolutely.

    The paper does say “this effect does seem to be reversible”, so if you stop SSRIs, your sex organs should apparently go back to normal. But still, some people are on SSRIs for long periods of time, right?

    Correct on both points. There are a number of medications that have similar effects and similarly have good profiles for reversal (including TRT).

    It’s something that warrants more study, yes, but the risk vs benefit is a very good balance. If further study shows teratogenic effects, it should be widely communicated and handled appropriately. However, there are many lives saved.

    If you’re worried by being prescribed them, noone can tell you what’s right for you and your doctor but, I’d probably not pay it any mind. They’re not super scary things and don’t say anything bad about you.
