3 questions: 1. I'd like to use xfs devices with a separate log device in a ceph cluster. What's the best way to do this? Is it possible to specify xfs log devices in the [osd.x] sections of ceph.conf? E.G.: [osd.0] host = delta devs = /dev/sdx osd mkfs options xfs = -d su=131072,sw=8 -i size=1024 -l logdev=/dev/sdq1,su=131072 [osd.1] host = epsilon devs = /dev/sdy osd mkfs options xfs = -d su=131072,sw=8 -i size=1024 -l logdev=/dev/sdq2,su=131072 2. Is this the correct syntax for the line without the log device options? osd mkfs options xfs = -d su=131072,sw=8 -i size=1024 3. For osd journal devices. I assume there's a 1:1 relationship between osds and journal devices. The section in sample.ceph.conf seems to imply a single entry. Should there be an osd journal entry in each [osd.x] section of ceph.conf? [osd] ; This is where the osd expects its data osd data = /data/$name ; Ideally, make the journal a separate disk or partition. ; 1-10GB should be enough; more if you have fast or many ; disks. You can use a file under the osd data dir if need be ; (e.g. /data/$name/journal), but it will be slower than a ; separate disk or partition. ; This is an example of a file-based journal. osd journal = /data/$name/journal osd journal size = 1000 ; journal size, in megabytes On my cluster (deployed with ceph-deploy) the data is in /var/lib/ceph/osd. Not /data/$name as in the sample file. Directory organization on my cluster: /var/lib/ceph/osd/: ceph-0 ceph-10 ceph-12 ceph-14 ceph-16 ceph-18 ceph-2 ceph-21 ceph-3 ceph-5 ceph-7 ceph-9 ceph-1 ceph-11 ceph-13 ceph-15 ceph-17 ceph-19 ceph-20 ceph-22 ceph-4 ceph-6 ceph-8 /var/lib/ceph/osd/ceph-0: /var/lib/ceph/osd/ceph-1: ls /data ls: cannot access /data: No such file or directory Thanks, Tim _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list ceph-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.ceph.com/listinfo.cgi/ceph-users-ceph.com
