Re: Vitastor, a fast Ceph-like block storage for VMs

Hi Roman,

Yes, you're right - OSDs list all objects during peering and take the latest full version of each object. Full version is a version that has at least min_size parts for XOR/EC, or any version for replicated setups which is OK because writes are atomic. If there is a newer "committed" ("stabilized") version of the object, but it doesn't have sufficient number of parts, the object is marked as incomplete.

By the way, did you receive my reply that I sent directly to your email? - it could've ended up in spam because yourcmc.ru is my own mail server.
