I am confuse to understand how File store in Ceph. I do two test. where is the File or the object for the File ?rados put Python.msi Python.msi -p data ?rbd -p testpool create fio_test --size 2048 rados command of ? means use Ceph as Object storage ? rbd command of ? means use Ceph as Block storage ? As i known, object in Ceph is 4M by default. this Object will put in PG. so i try do test as blow. the fio_test image store in Ceph by 512 object. 512?object? * 4 = 2048 and i can get object in testpool. # rbd -p testpool info fio_test rbd image 'fio_test': size 2048 MB in 512 objects order 22 (4096 kB objects) block_name_prefix: rb.0.1b6f.2ae8944a format: 1 # rados -p testpool ls |grep rb.0.1b6f.2ae8944a |wc -l 512 but when i check the data pool, only one file :Python.msi (26M), why not split Python.msi to many object(4M) ????? t# rados ls -p pool-B python.msi -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
