BTRFS for all OSD's 3. All hosts (including OSD) in my ceph cluster are running 3.0.9 ver [root@ceph-node-8 ~]# uname -r 3.0.9 4. All 9 machines are replica of each other. I have imaged them using systemimager. Only difference is 9th node is not a part of CEPH cluster. I mounted ceph cluster to this node using mount -t ceph command 5. All 9 clients are running same version of CentOS and Kernel with 1GigE interface
You mean to say, I can have ceph mon/OSD's running in the same machine ? but, in ceph wiki, i have read that its better to have different machines for each mds/mon/osd. I assume that ceph uses whatever ethernet interface i have (1GigE) in my system to load balance the cluster in case of node failure and node addition. Won't this uses entire bandwidth during load balancing ? won't this cause bandwidth saturation for clients ? I would like to know what benchmark I should use to test CEPH ? I want to present the data to my management how CEPH can perform when compared with other file systems (like GlusterFS/NetApp/Lustre) Thanks Madhusudhana -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe ceph-devel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
