Re: RBD features(kernel client) with kernel version

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

 



I have to admit that it's probably buried deep within the backlog [1].
Immediate term alternative solutions to presenting a RBD-backed block
device that support journaling is available via rbd-nbd (creates
/dev/nbdX devices) and also via LIO's tcmu-runner and a loopback
target (creates /dev/sdX devices). There is also a conceptual plan for
tcmu-runner to provide a libtcmu v2 library that could facilitate the
development of something like rbd-tcmu at some point in the future.
These solutions utilize kernel pass-through to userspace so there is a
performance hit -- but journaling would probably already be the larger
bottleneck.
