Add ceph client with rbd mount
To store the video data we use the existing ceph storage. We add a 10 GBE card to the server, install a ceph client, create an rbd image and mount that image as video disk into our video server and frigate container.
Restarting servers
After we rebooted the cluster-12 node many virtual machines were stuck in the freezed state.
Resize placement groups (64 -> 128)
The automatic algorithm now calculated an optimum of 128 placement groups, so we resize again.
Reduce placement groups
After removing all movies we need to reduce the number of placement groups to 64.
Adjust the number of placement groups
Placement groups optimization :-)
Recreate smb storage (only backup)
As we screw up our file storage by overloading it we need to remove all files and disks and recreate it from scratch.
