6 Agree 100%. Like I said, the right solution depends on your situation.

8 If you're using the server doing ceph storage only for file serving,
9 then protecting the OS installation isn't very important. Heck, you
10 could just run the OS off of a USB stick.

12 If you're running nodes that do a combination of application and
13 storage, then obviously you need to worry about both, which probably
14 means not relying on ceph as your sole source of protection. That
15 applies to a lot of "kitchen sink" setups where hosts don't have a
16 single role.
