Ceph means cephalopod = who can repair/heal themselves just like one of the main pillars ceph was founded on. That is why versions are named after different cephalopods Source - 12 years running Ceph in production ;)

Dude...I was recently learning proxmox and was like...damn this ceph documentation is so complicated to wrap my head around,BOOM. Network chuck to the rescue

When you said "Ready, set, go!" at the 34 minute mark, you missed the chance to do a Dad joke with "Ready, Ceph, GO!"

I’m just sitting here this morning in bed like “I really need a new NAS” and network chuck has convinced me he’s hacked into my brain and he’s like “I got you man, don’t worry. Video inbound now.”

Lovely to see more videos about Ceph. I found it when we ran out of space on our production environment. Had dabbled with it a bit at home but I had to put it into production like yesterday so that was a herowing week at work. Now 2 years later we have learned a lot and it's still rock solid.

I am currently a trainee on the job, just yesterday my CEO wanted to explain me CEPH, I swear today I will walk in office with a very big smile and knowledge of ceph 😅

was i the only one to notice his alien eye at 3:24 . what the heck man. chuck is an alien . well that explains a lot about coffee and the wierd mix of intrests

Yes please part two. I had the CEPH websit open for several weeks now. and here it is, a video from Networkchuck about CEPH. Thank's Chuck, love your Videos

I use ceph at work, I honestly didn't know you could map ceph directly in Linux remotely? I've always used SMB/NFS. So, to pay it forward, one or two things I've learned over the years: 1. Power Loss Protection or PLP is a game changer on SSD. TLDR, It allows the SSD to "say" it finished copying when it actually hasn't. This has a massive affect on speed. 2. If you set it up properly, you can have a "third" speed teir. So not just SSD/HDD, but the ability to WRITE to SSD and STORE the data on HDD much like read/write cache in normal ZFS. Thank you @networkchuck

Wow...This video is particularly useful for anyone considering investing in a NAS for personal or small business use. Chuck’s hands-on approach and detailed explanations make it easy to understand the benefits and potential challenges of using a NAS. His enthusiasm and practical advice can help viewers make informed decisions about their storage solutions. If you’re new to NAS or looking to upgrade your current setup, this video is a great resource. Thanks a lot Chuck!.

Hey Chuck, this is by far THE BEST video I have seen from your channel in the last 3 months. GREAT video! Totally innovative content. Make this a series please if you can. Follow-up this video with the CEPH tiering tutorial (pool for SSDs and pool for HDDs). Everything related to CEPH is SO COOL! Pump as much content as you can about CEPH. Cheers and thanks!

That’s NASty! 🤣

Hey Network Chuck, I'm a cybersecurity tester, and I have to say your videos are spot on. It's great to see someone spreading accurate information, unlike many YouTubers nowadays who often share misleading content. I really appreciate your in-depth content on cybersecurity. I have a couple of questions for you: Have you ever considered making a video on how to reverse the connection to a scammer's PC? I know it might be outside your usual scope, but I'm curious about your thoughts on this. Also, what is your operating system of choice for cybersecurity work? Mine is Linux.

Grate stuff, please do more on Ceph , can’t believe I watched more than 40 minutes one shot.

Excellent job explaining this. I've been needing to figure it out, but have been procrastinating until i had a full weekend to sort it out. Now in 3 hours I have it sorted in my head and a a 5 node cluster spooled up in my lab.

amidst all the storage talk, i heard "storge" once, and now i can only hear it like that.. thanks Networkchuck !

Make a part 2 and show how to separate the SSD and HD drives like you mentioned at the beginning of your video Please =)

The best thing about this video for me: you're a Dad of 6 daughters. I love that. Huge respect.

This is such an amazing video and exactly what I've been working for for quite some time now. Thanks for always explaining things so well Chuck, great job as always!
