We are running three Proxmox nodes, and would like to create a distributed, fault-tolerant filesystem on these nodes for storing the daily backups. First idea was to put a new 3 TB disk in each node, then create a Ceph or GlusterFS volume over them, with 1 disk kept for redundancy and 2 for data (so a single node failure will not affect the backups). Later if/when we install more nodes, we will just add the new disks to the pool.
My questions:
- Ceph or GlusterFS?
- Which one is easier to setup?
- Which one is better performing on three nodes?
- How can I mount / access these from Proxmox? Should I use NFS?
- Can you point me to any tutorials on setting any of these up?
