I posted about this a while ago, and someone else has since inquired, but I am seriously wanting to know if anybody has figured out how to boot from a RBD device yet using ipxe or similar. Last I read. loading the kernel and initrd from object storage would be theoretically easy, and would only require making an initramfs to initialize and mount the rbd.. But I couldn't find any documented instances of anybody having done this yet.. So.. Has anybody done this yet? If so, which distros is it working on, and where can I find more info?
Not sure if anyone is doing this, though there was a patch for creating an initramfs that would mount rbd: https://lists.debian.org/debian-kernel/2015/06/msg00161.html Josh _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list ceph-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.ceph.com/listinfo.cgi/ceph-users-ceph.com
