More specifically, Gilles created a skeleton "ceph" component in this draft pull request: https://github.com/open-mpi/ompi/pull/11122
If anyone has any cycles to work on it and develop it beyond the skeleton that is currently there, that would be great! -- Jeff Squyres jsquy...@cisco.com ________________________________ From: users <users-boun...@lists.open-mpi.org> on behalf of Gilles Gouaillardet via users <users@lists.open-mpi.org> Sent: Monday, November 28, 2022 9:48 PM To: users@lists.open-mpi.org <users@lists.open-mpi.org> Cc: Gilles Gouaillardet <gil...@rist.or.jp> Subject: Re: [OMPI users] CephFS and striping_factor Hi Eric, Currently, Open MPI does not provide specific support for CephFS. MPI-IO is either implemented by ROMIO (imported from MPICH, it does not support CephFS today) or the "native" ompio component (that also does not support CephFS today). A proof of concept for CephFS in ompio might not be a huge work for someone motivated: That could be as simple as (so to speak, since things are generally not easy) creating a new fs/ceph component (e.g. in ompi/mca/fs/ceph) and implement the "file_open" callback that uses the ceph API. I think the fs/lustre component can be used as an inspiration. I cannot commit to do this, but if you are willing to take a crack at it, I can create such a component so you can go directly to implementing the callback without spending too much time on some Open MPI internals (e.g. component creation).
