It's not worth the frustration. Believe me. I battled a whole month with SD cards until the storage cabling was put in. What a relief. You could feel the difference. As to counterfeit that could have been my problem but still lots more limitations on just the concept itself Summary. Don't do it. Get the external storage. Even iscsi via freenas or something is better <div class="gmail_quote">On Mar 11, 2016 3:54 PM, "Ignacio Bravo" <<a href="mailto:ibravo@ltgfederal.com">ibravo@ltgfederal.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">I never thought of the SDCards cheating on the size, but I guess that could a good reason why they were all showing the lower capacity. I tested on three cards from the same manufacture/batch. I'll try formatting them and validating that I get the full space.

We are deploying on blade servers which are good for compute but very bad for storage, as they only support two drives plus an sdcard each. I read that there was some work to deploy ceph on the compute nodes, which would be optimal for our scenario. Do you guys know how this is coming along? A second alternative is to deploy the overcloud image on an sdcard and boot from there leaving the two disks to be used for ceph. We got 64gb cards but were surprised when the ironic introspection returned just 15gb as available for installation, under the minimum of 40gb of the overcloud image. Has anyone been able to deploy on an sdcard using ironic?

There are lots of fake large-capacity SD cards floating around. For instance, I ordered some supposedly 16GB cards that would fail if you tried to write more than about 3.5 GB. When I tried to format them, they became 4 GB cards, because it turned out they were 4GB cards incorrectly formatted and intentionally mislabled. </blockquote> _______________________________________________ Rdo-list mailing list <a href="mailto:Rdo-list@redhat.com" target="_blank">Rdo-list@redhat.com</a> <a href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rdo-list" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rdo-list</a> To unsubscribe: <a href="mailto:rdo-list-unsubscribe@redhat.com" target="_blank">rdo-list-unsubscribe@redhat.com</a> </blockquote></div>
