One idea kicking around is to create a simple ceph-standalone package that is meant to make it really easy to play around with Ceph. It would: - depend on all the relevant ceph packages - install a simple, generic ceph.conf for use on localhost (or perhaps whatever /etc/hosts has for our hostname) - mkfs and start up a mon - start up an osd (or two?) in /var/lib/ceph (no dedicated disk/volume) - start an mds - add an apache2 site in /etc/apache2/sites-available (or whatever) The idea would be to do $ sudo apt-get install ceph-standalone $ ceph -s [...] and have a usable mini-cluster. That makes it really easy for users to play with the basics, like: $ mkdir /mnt/ceph $ sudo ceph-fuse /mnt/ceph $ rbd create ... $ rbd map ... $ curl http://localhost:8000/ <more rgw stuff> Does this sound useful? Any takers? 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
