Hello,

I read the "Filesystems" section in the "Hard disk and file system
recommendations" [1] documentation and was confused on whether or not
I should be using the setting:

   filestore xattr use omap = true

The section reads:

"[...] but the ext4 is too small to be usable. To use these file
systems, you should add the following like to the [osd] section of
your ceph.conf file.:"

Does that mean I the setting applies to systems that are using ext4,
or does it apply to _any_ filesystem that was mentioned, i.e. btrfs,
xfs, and ext4.

Thanks!

Hi Roberto,

You should always use "filestore xattr use omap = true" with EXT4. You can optionally use it for BTRFS and XFS. I've done a bit of testing and haven't yet been able to determine if there is any significant advantage or disadvantage to using it on BTRFS and XFS from a performance perspective. So far the performance differences haven't been consistent or significant enough to be conclusive.
