It would be good to have more OSDs ( 15 maybe ) to test the LRC erasure code plugin which needs at least 8 of them.

[yuriw]

@dachary do you think it should be specific to this suite?

[ghost]

@yuriw I think it should be for all suites for which we want to run a lrc workload, meaning all suites including giant I suppose

[liewegas]

It's fine to add lots of OSDs, but it will get slow because they will stop being mapped to actual disks (and will live on / instead). I don't think we should do that for the generic tests. Instead, we should make a EC specific collection of tests for these cases that need lots of OSDs ...

[yuriw]

@liewegas "a EC specific collection of tests" you mean add special suites for this?

[liewegas]

or a subdir with just the lrc stuff. Not sure where best to slot it in for upgrade, but for the rados suite, i think we need a rados/ec/ collection.

[yuriw]

@liewegas @dachary it sounds like a standalone issue that will have to be addressed.
Back to the original PR for firefly-giant-x
If agree that we need it - pls merge. There was an opinion (we discussed with Josh @jdurgin ) that the coverage by dumpling-giant-x will suffice.

[yuriw]

This suite should be added at later time when we have cleaned up giant branch and have other suites in "green" state per chat with Sage.
