Just to add "+1" on this datapoint, based on one month usage on Mimic 13.2.4 essentially "it works great for us" Prior to this, we had issues with the kernel driver on 12.2.2. This could have been due to limited RAM on the osd nodes (128GB / 45 OSD), and an older kernel. Upgrading the RAM to 256GB and using a RHEL 7.6 derived kernel has allowed us to reliably use the kernel driver. We keep 30 snapshots ( one per day), have one active metadata server, and change several TB daily - it's much, *much* faster than with fuse. Cluster has 10 OSD nodes, currently storing 2PB, using ec 8:2 coding. ta ta Jake On 3/6/19 11:10 AM, Hector Martin wrote: > On 06/03/2019 12:07, Zhenshi Zhou wrote: >> Hi, >> >> I'm gonna mount cephfs from my ceph servers for some reason, >> including monitors, metadata servers and osd servers.
