It sounds like the osd journal file exists, but is 0 bytes. You can include osd journal size = 100 ; measured in MB to your ceph.conf and it will be resized during mkfs (iff it is 0 bytes). Or use 'dd'. Or (better yet) point it at a raw block device. I'm fixing up the error handling to return an error instead of asserting. > .. and what happend to the ceph-kclient-source package? Well, I'm not sure if we should keep building that package. The kernel client versioning is somewhat divorced from the server side now that the client is in the mainline kernel (and releases are dictated by kernel releases). But I take it people use that package? I suppose as long as there is some 'stable' release that coincides with the final kernel release (e.g., v0.20.1 for v2.6.34 in a few weeks, in this case). sage -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe ceph-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
