When I refer to 'multiple masters' I'm speaking of the monitor service. Currently, Ceph has a single set of monitors that acts as a group. One is the master and the rest replicate all changes made by the master. Here, we propose having several groups of monitors, each group with its own master. Every group would be responsible for some subset of OSDs, determined by partitioning the space of OSD ids up between them. Each LogicalOSD would be tracked separately in the map. You should, in principle, be able to back up an LogicalOSD's store, move it to another machine, and load it into a process with a different set of LogicalOSDs the same way you can, now, move one ceph-osd process from one physical machine to another. -- Senior Software Engineer Red Hat Storage, Ann Arbor, MI, US IRC: Aemerson@{RedHat, OFTC, Freenode} 0x80F7544B90EDBFB9 E707 86BA 0C1B 62CC 152C 7C12 80F7 544B 90ED BFB9 -- 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
