hi mark,

what kind of caching is actually needed here?
i assume a 2 replica pool for writes (don't want to loose the data will it has not been flushed back to the EC pools) and a 1 replica for reading (no additional write IOs and network traffic while reading, no data loss if the read cache pool fails). but probably the read-cache has to be the same as the write cache (eg when people want to modify a file).

hi mark,

thanks for clarifying it a bit. we'll certainly have a look at the
caching tier setup.

hi all,

one of the changes in the 0.82 release (accoridng to the notes) is:

mon: prevent EC pools from being used with cephfs

can someone clarify this a bit? cephfs with EC pools make no sense? now?
ever? or is it just not recommended (i'm also interested in the
technical reasons behind it)

There are limitations regarding the operations that are supported by EC
pools, so you can't directly use them for RBD/CephFS. Potentially you
can put a replication based cache tier pool in front of an EC base pool
which should work.  I've tested this kind of setup with RBD and it
appears to work fine.  Currently the end result is pretty slow, but we
may be able to improve it with time.

An interesting use case to be sure. :)

many thanks
