And a huge win that it makes it so easy to have distributed storage. Ceph is built-in and works well. Being able to add disks as needed is bliss (no RAID planning up front). And the rebuild situation is better than any RAID. Performance is adequate for homelab even on a 1gbps network. I have about 10 SSDs mixed 1TB and 2TB across 5 hosts (old Optiplex units).
That sounds interesting, I'm only tangentially familiar with Ceph so forgive these stupid questions: So you have the Ceph "array" running on the Proxmox nodes, and then are your VHDs like objects on Ceph? Do you also use Ceph for direct data storage or are all your files and data within VM's VHDs?
