I have a bunch of hard drives I want to use as OSDs, with ceph nautilus. ceph-volume lvm create makes straight raw dev usage relatively easy, since you can just do ceph-volume lvm create --data /dev/sdc or whatever. Its nice that it takes care of all the LVM jiggerypokery automatically. but.. what if you have a single SSD. lets call it /dev/sdx. and I want to use it for the WAL, for /dev/sdc, sdd, sde, sdf, and so on. Do you have to associate each OSD with a unique WAL dev, or can they "share"? Do I really have to MANUALLY go carve up /dev/sdx into slices, LVM or otherwise, and then go hand manage the slicing? ceph-volume lvm create --data /dev/sdc --block.wal /dev/sdx1 ceph-volume lvm create --data /dev/sdd --block.wal /dev/sdx2 ceph-volume lvm create --data /dev/sde --block.wal /dev/sdx3 ? can I not get away with some other more simplified usage? -- Philip Brown| Sr. Linux System Administrator | Medata, Inc. 5 Peters Canyon Rd Suite 250 Irvine CA 92606 Office 714.918.1310| Fax 714.918.1325 pbrown@xxxxxxxxxx| www.medata.com _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list ceph-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.ceph.com/listinfo.cgi/ceph-users-ceph.com
