Safe Ceph Utilization Calculator
The only way I've managed to ever break Ceph is by not giving it enough raw storage to work with. You can abuse ceph in all kinds of ways and it will recover, but when it runs out of storage really bad things happen. It's surprisingly easy to get into trouble. Mainly because the default safety mechanisms (nearfull and full ratios) assume that you are running a cluster with at least 7 nodes. For smaller clusters the defaults are too risky. For that reason I created this calculator. It calculates how much storage you can safely consume.
