 - We recommend the fastest feasible low-latency storage devices (NVMe, Optane,
   or at the very least SAS/SATA SSD) for the metadata pool, as this will
   directly affect the latency of client file system operations.
+- We strongly suggest that the CephFS metadata pool be provisioned on dedicated

 - The data pool used to create the file system is the "default" data pool and
   the location for storing all inode backtrace information, which is used for hard link
   management and disaster recovery. For this reason, all CephFS inodes
