I tried to build ceph-0.17 on OpenSUSE 11.0 (default kernel - 2.6.25, libfuse 2.8 upgraded from repository, default version is 2.7)
to do that i had to make the following changes: 1) install more fresh version on BOOST (default version was 1.34, i installed 1.39 from repositories), and other prereqs, like libedit-devel, fuse-devel, etc. 2) change src/include/object.h -- add #include <stdio.h> -- to suppress error about not found sprintf function 3) change dependencies in ceph.spec -- (i actually removed them, only left build_reqs and relied on automagical dependency discovery) 4) in .spec file I commented out everything about kernel client, due to some kernel requirements (like unaligned access functions. at first i ) i only left FUSE client, and added those files, that were missing. then i built rpms, which i used to distribute along my cluster nodes. 20 nodes, 1 managing server, 1Gbit network. each node has 6x640GB SATA HDD ! so far i tested with 4 nodes, each hosting 1 OSD based on ext3 volume. + 1mon and 1msd. i have to say, that bonnie++ went successfully, showing 50MB/sec, same as NFS on the same network (seems like bad ethernet card or bad switch) more tests to come. the only problem so far: cfuse-mounted filesystem refuse to unmount. (says that device is busy) I have to admit: far more easier deployment, than with Lustre! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
