I am not sure, if Rocksdb/LevelDB can work on a raw device. When I looked at code they were doing write to mount point/directory.

I saw in mount you are accessing files like superblock/fsid. So, for example, /var/lib/ceph/osd/ceph-0 should be a filesystem path, right ? > If so, this may not be the case always as there are key/value stores which can work on the raw device. In that case, these files (superblock/fsid) also need to go in the key/value db. > > Let me know if I am missing anything. > > Thanks & Regards > Somnath > > > > ________________________________ > > PLEASE NOTE: The information contained in this electronic mail message is intended only for the use of the designated recipient(s) named above.
