Re: [ceph-users] Introducing DeepSea: A tool for deploying Ceph using Salt

2016-11-11 Thread Bill Sanders
I'm curious what the relationship is with python_ceph_cfg[0] and DeepSea, which have some overlap in contributors and functionality (and supporting organizations?). [0] https://github.com/oms4suse/python-ceph-cfg Bill Sanders On Wed, Nov 2, 2016 at 10:52 PM, Tim Serong wrote: > Hi Al

Avoiding the merits of SysV vs SystemD: I went and grabbed the systemd init scripts (unit files, whatever) from upstream. As Christian suggests, answers will vary depending on your ceph version (and where your packages came from), but if you go to: https://github.com/ceph/ceph/tree/master/systemd

Re: [ceph-users] Separate hosts for osd and its journal

2016-02-10 Thread Bill Sanders
Going in a tiny bit more detail to what Michał said, one of the key reasons for having the journal (in particular, to use SSD's) is to reduce latency on writes (the other being a replay in the event of a crash). Even if the functionality existed, adding a network trip to this would be detrimental

Is there some information about rbd-nbd somewhere? If it has feature parity with librbd and is easier to maintain, will this eventually deprecate krbd? We're using the RBD kernel client right now, and so this looks like something we might want to explore at my employer. Bill On Thu, Jan 14, 201

[ceph-users] Ceph job posting

2015-12-01 Thread Bill Sanders
Just dropping a note to say that Teradata (I work there!) is hiring to build out a small-at-first Ceph team in our Rancho Bernardo office (near San Diego, CA). We're looking for engineers interested in getting Ceph to spin like a top for our data warehouse applications. You should know C/C++, vir

I think what Nick is suggesting is that you create Nx5GB partitions on the SSD's (where N is the number of OSD's you want to have fast journals for), and use the rest of the space for OSDs that would form the SSD pool. Bill On Tue, Nov 24, 2015 at 10:56 AM, Marek Dohojda < mdoho...@altitudedigita

I think you're looking for this. http://ceph.com/docs/master/man/8/rbd/#cmdoption-rbd--order It's used when you create the RBD images. 1MB is order=20, 512 is order=19. Thanks, Bill Sanders On Thu, Aug 13, 2015 at 1:31 AM, Vickey Singh wrote: > Thanks Nick for your suggestion
