Now the my client machine still can't mount the system, the error message is "can't read the superblock ".Moreover, I can use "init-ceph" command to start the system,and the "cosd cmon cmds" is on process table(so I think the system is running), but I can't use “ceph” command to administrate the system, “2011-01-13 13:27:05.800552 b5f41b70 -- :/4555 >> 192.168.178.160:0/0 pipe(0x8429c48 sd=3 pgs=0 cs=0 l=0).fault first fault ” is the error message.Do you know what's wrong may cause these problems? If you have encounteren these problems, please tell me how to resolve them. Thanks. I have turned off the iptables, and disabled the firewall. I install the ceph(0.24) on Fedora 14 ( 2.6.35.6-45 )which runs on Vmware 6.5.70(for test).Moreover, my mon,mds and osd was on the same system. My ceph.conf on mon&mds&osd is: [global] ; enable secure authentication ;auth supported = cephx ; monitors ; You need at least one. You need at least three if you want to ; tolerate any node failures. Always create an odd number. [mon] mon data = /data/mon$id ; logging, for debugging monitor crashes, in order of ; their likelihood of being helpful :) ;debug ms = 1 ;debug mon = 20 ;debug paxos = 20 ;debug auth = 20 [mon0] host = cephosd mon addr = 192.168.178.160 ; mds ; You need at least one. Define two to get a standby. [mds] ; where the mds keeps it's secret encryption keys ;keyring = /data/keyring.$name ; mds logging to debug issues. ;debug ms = 1 ;debug mds = 20 [mds.alpha] host = cephosd ; osd ; You need at least one. Two if you want data to be replicated. ; Define as many as you like. [osd] sudo = true ; This is where the btrfs volume will be mounted. osd data =/mnt/btrfs/osd0$id ; Ideally, make this a separate disk or partition. A few ; hundred MB should be enough; more if you have fast or many ; disks. You can use a file under the osd data dir if need be ; (e.g. /data/osd$id/journal), but it will be slower than a ; separate disk or partition. ; This is an example of a file-based journal. osd journal = /mnt/btrfs/osd$id/journal osd journal size = 1000 ; journal size, in megabytes ; osd logging to debug osd issues, in order of likelihood of being ; helpful ;debug ms = 1 ;debug osd = 20 ;debug filestore = 20 ;debug journal = 20 [osd0] host = cephosd ; if 'btrfs devs' is not specified, you're responsible for ; setting up the 'osd data' dir. if it is not btrfs, things ; will behave up until you try to recover from a crash (which ; usually fine for basic testing). btrfs devs = /dev/sda3 osd data = /mnt/btrfs/osd0 ; access control [group everyone] ; you probably want to limit this to a small or a list of ; hosts. clients are fully trusted. addr = 0.0.0.0/0 On the client side my install commands is : $git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/sage/ceph-client.git $cd ceph-client $make menuconfig //I select "Yes" on all of three option about Ceph $make && make modules && make modules_install && make install && reboot Thank you! -- 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
