Re: understanding PG count for a file

[赵赵贺东 <zhaohedong@xxxxxxxxx>]

what is the size of your file？What about a big size file?

If the file is big enough， it can not be stored by only two osds.

If the file is very small, as you know object size is 4MB, so it can be stored by only one object in one primary osd, and slave osd.

I understood your explaination.

The result of 'ceph osd map <poolname> <filename> ' command always gives only 2 OSDs(1 primary, 1 secondary). But it is not mandatory the objects are stored only in 2 OSDs it should be spreaded many OSDs.

So my doubt is why the command gives this result

Hello,

file -> many objects-> many PG(each pg has two copies, because your replication count is two)-> many OSD
pgs can be distributed in OSDs, no limitation for only 2, replication count 2only determine pg copies is 2.

Hope this will help.

When we store a file(consider replication count is 2) , it will be splitted into objects and each object will be stored in different PG and each PG will be mapped to a OSD. It means there can be many OSD for a single file . But why are we getting only 2 OSDs by the command 'ceph OSD map'
