Hi, It been just a bit more than 1 year ago I started this undertaking: Ceph on FreeBSD. So as sort as anniversary I'm sort of pleased to say that quite a lot of the code in Ceph/ceph now actually builds/runs/tests according the testset that comes with the repo. (And tonight is sort of Dutch pre-Xmas: Sinterklaas, and we give away presents. :D ) What I have not looked into are RBD, CephFS and fuse. * RBD has 2 sides: libRBD which is largely just userspace code. Porting that will not be a major undertaking. Kernel RBD might be possible, but then with largely different code.(more based on ggated) * CephFS and fuse are still uncharted territory so I'll have to see what is going to happen there. The code has not been stress tested at all. Like I said: it gets thru the testset. But it requires ZFS and some hand holding. Certainly ceph-disk will not do all things it does on Linux. So most/all of the setup needs to be done with care and double checking. Building a FreeBSD package is in the works, but I've yet to learn how to get the embedded Python parts installed in a way that they work. And some tweaks are needed to DIY. For those interested, I've started Jenkins to build a FreeBSD version once per day from master.... The results are public for everybody. -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: Jenkins build is back to normal : ceph-master #70 Date: Mon, 5 Dec 2016 16:20:19 +0100 (CET) From: jenkins@xxxxxxxxxxx Reply-To: jenkins@xxxxxxxxxxx To: wjw@xxxxxxxxxxx http://cephdev.digiware.nl:8180/jenkins/job/ceph-master/70/ ------------------------------- To get here there are still a few patches required. This you see happening at the beginning of the jobs. The following patches are still under review, but applied here: Buildsystem: CMakeLists.txt-boost.diff Subsystem: src_rocksdb_CMakeText.txt.diff Code: msg_async_AsyncMessenger.cc.diff src_rgw_rgw_file.cc.diff Code/compiler-bug: test_test_denc.cc.diff test_test_mempool.cc.diff Tests: qa_workunits_ceph-disk.diff src_ceph-disk_tests_ceph-disk.sh.diff src_ceph-disk_tests_test_main.py.diff src_test_pybind_CMakeLists.txt.diff src_test_pybind_nosetests.diff If anybody wants to have these patches, I'll put them online. The alternative is to fetch my https://github.com/wjwithagen/ceph tree, and checkout wip.FreeBSD. But that is sort of a moving target and will not always compile. Thanx to: Sage Weil Kefu Chai Haomai Wang and many more Ceph developers that were patient enough with me, and helped me to get this far.
