Hello Yann,
Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, I found it by chance during a search, since you didn't include me in the reply, I never got it on my email.
I am interested in what you mentioned so far. I'm not looking into making any production grade cluster, just a couple of nodes for testing ceph and its failure scenarios.
Current ubuntu and Debian based distributions for Banana pro are based on kernel 3.4.103. I see you used a more recent kernel, did you get it ready made or you compiled it yourself ?
I actually have the choice now of attaching the osd disks via either sata or usb. In buying those Chinese 16gb ssd disks. They are good for i/o but not for write speed.
If you could provide any more info, then it would be great.
Thanks!
Hello all, I'm currently studying the possibility of creating a small ceph cluster on arm nodes.
The reasonably priced boards I found (like the banana pi/pro, Orange pi/pro/h3, etc..) most have either dual core or quad core Allwinner chips and 1GB RAM. They also use a micro sd card for os and a sata drive connection.
Has anyone ever tried a deployment like this? I want to know if that hardware is enough to create a usable cluster.
I dont want loads of storage, just want to end up with a responsive os and a 10 gb storage pool.
Beyond the basic minimum hardware listed on the ceph documents, i haven't found much info on this. The pilot implementation with startup company calxeda was on 64-bit arm boards, not 32-bit, and they were a custom spec.
Any ideas welcome. Thanks.
