+1 for Wido Moreover, if you want to store the journal on a block device, you should partition your journal disk and assign one partition per OSD like /dev/sdb1, 2 , 3.... Again, osd journal = /dev/osd$id/journal is wrong, if you use this directive, this must point to a filesystem because the journal will be a file. Anyway, as far I'm concerned I didn't notice that much performance gain by using the journal on a block device. At the end, just put the journal on a dedicated formatted partition since the filesystem overhead is not that big. So just keep the osd journal = /dev/osd$id/journal but change it for something like osd journal = /srv/ceph/journals/osd$id/journal. Cheers. -- Regards, Sébastien Han.
