Controlled Replication Under Scalable Hashing

What is CRUSH?

CRUSH stands for “Controlled Replication Under Scalable Hashing” and It is the algorithm in charge of placing data at every disk’s device of the cluster

CRUSH distributes data evenly across available object storage devices in what is often described as a pseudo-random manner. CRUSH’s settings are defined through a compiled map called a CRUSH map. The map, which can be customized by the storage administrator, informs the cluster about the layout and capacity of nodes in the storage network and specifies how redundancy should be managed.

CRUSH replicates data in multiple locations and fault domains. So when a disk fails, CRUSH replicates data across available OSDs. There is no need for RAID, which typically just adds to the hardware cost. – See more at: http://www.inktank.com/ceph/ceph-the-crush-difference/#sthash.jXB6B0Qw.dpuf

Art Crush: Vintage Wooden Signs

I have a special place in my heart for Monaco.  It was one of the first Formula 1 Grand Prix that I visited and it tends to fall very close to my birthday.  Today on Fab they have more vintage wood signs and the first one that caught my eye was this one:

Such a nice sign.

For those of you less car engaged, there are some other pretty signs such as:

Olympic Crush: Ryan Lochte Has a Crush On Blake Lively.

A Olympic size crush:

Ryan Lochte is making the most of his Olympic star power.

The 28-year-old Olympic swimmer, who picked up five medals during the 2012 Summer Olympics, revealed his crush during an appearance on Piers Morgan’s CNN Show — but says he hasn’t yet met her.

“She is gorgeous,” Lochte said of the Gossip Girl star, 24, who is currently dating Ryan Reynolds.

“I would be like, ‘Hi,’” he said of his possible pick-up line. “I’d be like, ‘You want to go to an island with me?’”

Missy Franklin, who just earned four gold medals at the Olympics, has a case of Bieber Fever. The 17-year-old was overwhelmed when Justin Bieber recorded a video message for her.

“I was flipping out when I saw it!” said the Olympian, who won a gold medal during the medal ceremony for the Women’s 100m Backstroke.

“His little brother was in it too, and he’s the cutest little thing ever. It was insane. I was so excited. He said he was on vacation, so for him to take time out of his vacation to do that for me is so sweet and so special. I’m going to his concert soon. I can’t wait!”

But Bieber isn’t the only celebrity she’s eying. When the high school senior sat down with E! News, she gushed about Twilight actor Taylor Lautner.

“He’s very cute,” she said.
