CephFS: read-only access

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

I would like to provide access to a bunch of large files (bio sequence databases) to our cloud users. Putting the files in a RBD instance requires special care if several VMs need to access the files; creating an individual RBD snapshot for each instance requires more effort in the cloud setup.

I'm currently thinking about given the users read-only access to a CephFS subdirectory. The Jewel release includes a path based access restriction for CephFS, which fits nicely into the concept. But the documentation does not state whether it is possible to have a read-only CephFS mount point. Is it sufficient to skip the write flag from the user's capabilities, e.g.

caps: [mds] allow rp, allow rp path=/foo
caps: [mon] allow r
caps: [osd] allow r pool=data

Regards,
Burkhard
