Hmm. That is a disappointing consequence of simply adding some 
storage-only nodes, with the sole purpose to increase ceph performance.

I find it surprising that a setup such as described above *would* be 
supported, and a (in our eyes simpler and more elegant) setup with one 
or two ceph-osd-only nodes is not supprted.
