Hi Lee You could use an Ceph RBD device on a server and export a directory that you would have created on this RBD though NFS.
3 days after the files are uploade, you could snapshot the RBD device, delete the directory containing the files, and a week later, when sure you do not need the snapshot for a restore, remove the s'apshot. Hope this can help Rgds JC On Tuesday, February 11, 2014, Hyangtack Lee <hyangt...@gmail.com> wrote: > I'm new to Ceph, and looking for a new storage to replace legacy system. > > My system has a lot of files accessing temporarily for 2 or 3 days. > Those files are uploaded from many clients everyday, and batch job deletes > unused files everyday. > > In this case, can I use Ceph's pool to store daily uploaded files? > Scenario is like below: > 1. create daily pool, e.g. pool-2014-02-12 > 2. store files to the pool > 3.
