This release includes a few substantial pieces for Firefly, including a long-overdue switch to 3x replication by default and a switch to the "new" CRUSH tunables by default (supported since bobtail). There is also a fix for a long-standing radosgw bug (stalled GET) that has already been backported to emperor and dumpling. Upgrading ~~~~~~~~~ * We now default to the 'bobtail' CRUSH tunable values that are first supported by Ceph clients in bobtail (v0.48) and Linux kernel version v3.9. If you plan to access a newly created Ceph cluster with an older kernel client, you should use 'ceph osd crush tunables legacy' to switch back to the legacy behavior. Note that making that change will likely result in some data movement in the system, so adjust the setting before populating the new cluster with data. * We now set the HASHPSPOOL flag on newly created pools (and new clusters) by default. Support for this flag first appeared in v0.64; v0.67 Dumpling is the first major release that supports it. It is first supported by the Linux kernel version v3.9. If you plan to access a newly created Ceph cluster with an older kernel or clients (e.g, librados, librbd) from a pre-dumpling Ceph release, you should add 'osd pool default flag hashpspool = false' to the '[global]' section of your 'ceph.conf' prior to creating your monitors (e.g., after 'ceph-deploy new' but before 'ceph-deploy mon create ...'). * The configuration option 'osd pool default crush rule' is deprecated and replaced with 'osd pool default crush replicated ruleset'. 'osd pool default crush rule' takes precedence for backward compatibility and a deprecation warning is displayed when it is used.
