Re: [ceph-users] RBD import format 1 & 2

2014-07-25 Thread Campbell, Bill
When you run qemu-img you are essentially converting the qcow2 image to the appropriate raw format during the conversion and import process to the cluster. When you use rbd import you are not doing a conversion, so the image is being imported AS IS (you can validate this by looking at the size of

We use VMware with Ceph, however we don't use RBD directly (we have an NFS server which has RBD volumes exported as datastores in VMware). We did attempt iSCSI with RBD to connect to VMware but ran into stability issues (could have been the target software we were using) but have found NFS to be

compare native performance of the SSD disks at 4K blocks vs Ceph performance with 4K blocks?  It just seems their is a huge difference in the results. On Tue, Sep 17, 2013 at 10:56 AM, Campbell, Bill <bcampb...@axcess-financial.com> wrote: Windows default (NTFS) is a 4k block.  Are you chang

I can't speak for OpenStack, but OpenNebula uses Libvirt/QEMU/KVM to access an RBD directly for each virtual instance deployed, live-migration included (as each RBD is in and of itself a separate block device, not file system). I would imagine OpenStack works in a similar fashion. - Origin

I think the version of Libvirt included with RHEL/CentOS supports RBD storage (but not pools), so outside of compiling a newer version not sure there can be anything else done aside from waiting for repo additions/newer versions of the distro. Not sure what your scenario is, but this is the ex

The "public" network is where all storage accesses from other systems or clients will occur. When you map RBD's to other hosts, access object storage through the RGW, or CephFS access, you will access the data through the "public" network. The "cluster" network is where all internal replication

Yes, that is the TOTAL amount in the cluster. For example, if you have a replica size of '3' , 81489 GB available, and you write 1 GB of data, then that data is written to the cluster 3 times, so your total available will be 81486 GB. It definitely threw me off at first, but seeing as you can hav
