Sage et al, This is an exciting release but I must say I'm a bit confused about some of the new rgw details. Questions: 1) I'd like to understand how regions work. I assume that's how you get multi-site, multi-datacenter support working but must they be part of the same ceph cluster still? 2) I have two independent zones (intranet and internet). Should they be put in the same region by setting 'rgw region root pool = blabla' ? I wasn't sure how placement_targets work. 3) When I upgraded my rgw from .61 to .67 I lost access to my data. I used 'rgw_zone_root_pool' and noticed zone object changed from zone_info to zone_info.default. I did a 'rados cp zone_info zone_info.default -pool bIabla'. That fixed it but not sure if that's the correct fix. 4) In the zone_info.default I the following at the end : ..."system_key": { "access_key": "", "secret_key": ""}, "placement_pools": []} What are these for exactly and should they be set? Or just a placeholder for E release? Thanks and keep up the great work! _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list ceph-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.ceph.com/listinfo.cgi/ceph-users-ceph.com
