Hi, This is the new objectstore multi backend, instead of using a filesystem (xfs,btrfs) , you can use leveldb,rocksdb,... which don't need journal, because operations are atomic.
I think it should be release with firefly, if I remember. About this, can somebody tell me if write are same speed, for osd xfs HDD+journal on ssd vs osd leveldb HDD ? (As journal on ssd should improve latencies) ----- Mail original ----- De: "Karan Singh" <[email protected]> À: "Jake Young" <[email protected]>, [email protected], "Sebastien Han" <[email protected]>, "Markus Goldberg" <[email protected]> Envoyé: Samedi 15 Mars 2014 19:07:56 Objet: Re: [ceph-users] No more Journals ? Hello Everyone If you see ceph day presentation delivered by Sebastien ( slide number 23 ) http://www.slideshare.net/Inktank_Ceph/ceph-performance It looks like Firefly has dropped support to Journals , How concrete is this news ??? -Karan- On 14 Mar 2014, at 15:35, Jake Young < [email protected] > wrote: You should take a look at this blog post: http://ceph.com/community/ceph-performance-part-2-write-throughput-without-ssd-journals/ The test results shows that using a RAID card with a write-back cache without journal disks can perform better or equivalent to using journal disks with XFS. As to whether or not it’s better to buy expensive controllers and use all of your drive bays for spinning disks or cheap controllers and use some portion of your bays for SSDs/Journals, there are trade-offs. If built right, systems with SSD journals provide higher large block write throughput, while putting journals on the data disks provides higher storage density. Without any tuning both solutions currently provide similar IOP throughput .

I read through the new manuals of 0.77 ( http://eu.ceph.com/docs/v0. 77/start/quick-ceph-deploy/ ) In the section of creating the osd the manual says: Then, from your admin node, use ceph-deploy to prepare the OSDs. ceph-deploy osd prepare {ceph-node}:/path/to/directory For example: ceph-deploy osd prepare node2:/var/local/osd0 node3:/var/local/osd1 Finally, activate the OSDs. ceph-deploy osd activate {ceph-node}:/path/to/directory For example: ceph-deploy osd activate node2:/var/local/osd0 node3:/var/local/osd1 In former versions the osd was created like: ceph-deploy -v --overwrite-conf osd --fs-type btrfs prepare bd-0:/dev/sdb:/dev/sda5 ^^^^^^^^^^ Journal As i remember defining and creating a journal for each osd was a must.
