Hi ceph users, I'm a new user of ceph, just POC-ing for a shred file system. I'm struggling that a file on top of a same image of RBD is not synced between two machines.
I've just setup a ceph cluster (giant on ubuntu14.04), one mon on machine1 and one osd on machine2, created a image(foo) and mapped/mounted the image on two machines like below. machine1$ mount /dev/rbd1 on /mnt/foo type ext4 (rw,sync,_netdev) machine2$ mount /dev/rbd1 on /mnt/foo type ext4 (rw,sync,_netdev) Then, I've just touched a file(/mnt/foo/bar) on machine1, but it didn't appear on machine2 even I waited for a few minutes. machine1$ sudo touch /mnt/foo/bar machine1$ ls -l /mnt/foo -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Dec 15 01:35 bar drwx------ 2 root root 16384 Dec 12 16:05 lost+found machine2$ ls -l /mnt/foo drwx------ 2 root root 16384 Dec 12 16:05 lost+found Though, it appeared after flushing block device buffers. machine1$ sudo blockdev --flushbufs /dev/rbd1 machine2$ sudo blockdev --flushbufs /dev/rbd1 machine2$ ls -l /mnt/foo -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Dec 15 01:35 bar drwx------ 2 root root 16384 Dec 12 16:05 lost+found Am I wrong something? Are there something to be configured? Is it impossible to use RBD as a shared network block device? Thanks, Ryosuke
