Hi Xiaoxi, Wheats, you hit the right point: We are looking for an Enterprise Linux distribution as base for Ceph. RHEL and CentOS has a very broad distribution and a high acceptance in the Data Center due to our observation. The pain of this distro (from Ceph point of view) is the old kernel. A

Hi Dieter, Thanks a lot for the information. Could I learn more about your use case ? Would you care performance ? And may I know why you want CentOS+ Custom kernel ? I thought people use CentOS for stability concern but if using CentOS + Custom Kernel, why don't you just use Ubuntu or F

Hi Kasper, Can you talk about how you make use of Ceph and detail information on CentOS? I guess that you use the CephFS on Ceph Cluster? Best regards, Wheats 在 2013-7-17,下午2:16,Kasper Dieter 写道: > Hi Xiaoxi, > > we are really running Ceph on CentOS-6.4 > (6 server nodes, 3 client nodes, 1

Hi Xiaoxi, we are really running Ceph on CentOS-6.4 (6 server nodes, 3 client nodes, 160 OSDs). We put a 3.8.13 Kernel on top and installed the ceph-0.61.4 cluster with mkcephfs, because ceph-deploy seems to be still very buggy and has big dependencies to the newest python. ceph.ko rbd.ko and

We have deployed Ceph on CentOS 6.3 and will have a full test on it. The old kernel version and rbd.ko is problem but we will not touch rbd.ko. Best regards, Wheats 在 2013-7-17,上午9:18,"Chen, Xiaoxi" 写道: > Hi list, > I would like to ask if anyone really run Ceph on CentOS/RHEL? Since the >

My understanding of the issue is that for the actual cluster it's self, it should be ok. I could be wrong here, but I thought the kernel module was only specifically for mounting cephfs (And even then, there's a fuse module that you *can* use anyway) On 07/17/2013 11:18 AM, Chen, Xiaoxi wr

Hi list, I would like to ask if anyone really run Ceph on CentOS/RHEL? Since the kernel version for Cent/RHEL is much older than that of Ubuntu, I am thinking about whether we have some known performance/functionality issue? Thanks for everyone could share your insight for Ceph+CentOS.
