All, I am trying to use ceph-deploy to create an OSD on a multipath device but put the journal partition on the SSD the system boots from. I have created a partition on the SSD (/dev/sda5) but ceph-deploy does not seem to like it. I am trying: ceph-deploy osd create ceph01:/dev/mapper/mpathb:/dev/sda5 It runs through and ends with: [INFO ] Running command: ceph --cluster=ceph osd stat --format=json [WARNIN] there is 1 OSD down [WARNIN] there is 1 OSD out So I try to activate it: ceph-deploy disk activate ceph-1-35a:/dev/mapper/mpathb1:/dev/sda5 But that gives me an error: [WARNIN] 2016-04-01 13:07:55.519488 7fecdd044800 -1 ** ERROR: error creating empty object store in /var/lib/ceph/tmp/mnt.VTxcYn: (13) Permission denied It works fine if I only specify the single multipath device. It works fine if I point to a disk for the journal, but not a partition. It seems ceph-deploy is not set up to use an existing partition on a separate disk for a journal? Is there a way to get ceph-deploy to use an existing partition for a journal? Brian Andrus ITACS/Research Computing Naval Postgraduate School Monterey, California voice: 831-656-6238 |
