Re: [ceph-users] can I attach a volume to 2 servers

the same block device. Because no server is aware of what the other servers are doing, it’s essentially guaranteed that you’ll have one server partially overwriting things another server just wrote, resulting in lost data and/or a broken filesystem. - Edward Huyer School of Interactive Games

[ceph-users] Mapping RBD On Ceph Cluster Node

2016-04-29 Thread Edward Huyer
This is more of a "why" than a "can I/should I" question. The Ceph block device quickstart says (if I interpret it correctly) not to use a physical machine as both a Ceph RBD client and a node for hosting OSDs or other Ceph services. Is this interpretation correct? If so, what is the reasoning?

[ceph-users] Weird/normal behavior when creating filesystem on RBD volume

2016-04-22 Thread Edward Huyer
ne explain what's going on here? I have a pretty strong notion, but I'm hoping someone can give a definite answer. This behavior appears to be normal, so I'm not actually worried about it. It just makes myself and some coworkers go "huh, I wonder what causes that". -

[ceph-users] Pool size 2 min_size 1 Advisability?

2014-07-27 Thread Edward Huyer
Ceph has a default pool size of 3. Is it a bad idea to run a pool of size 2? What about size 2 min_size 1? I have a cluster I'm moving data into (on RBDs) that is full enough with size 3 that I'm bumping into nearfull warnings. Part of that is because of the amount of data, part is probably bec
