Short: rather not, you need to try out to be sure though. You probably cannot use the kernel RBD as it's support may be to old for Nautilus images. The userspace libraries we use else would need to be updated to Nautilus to ensure working fine with everything changed in Nautilus. So why don't we, the Proxmox development community, don't just update to Nautilus? That ceph version started to employ programming language features available in only relative recent compiler versions, sadly the one which _every_ binary in Stretch is build with (gcc 6.3) does not supports those features - we thought about workarounds, but felt very uneasy of all of them - the compiler and it's used libc is such a fundamental base of a Linux Distro that we cannot change that for a single application without hurting stability and bringing up lots of problems in any way. So Nautilus will come first with Proxmox VE 6.0 based upon Debian Buster, compiled with gcc 8, which supports all those new shiny used features. > > No matter how many bugfixes and backports have been done for Luminous, it > still feels like a very weak first attempt with regards to making > Bluestore the default storage and I'd rather not deploy anything based on > it. We use Bluestore in our own Infrastructure without issues, and lot's of PVE user do also - if that make you feelings shift a bit to the better. cheers, Thomas > > Regards, > > Christian > _______________________________________________ pve-user mailing list pve-user@pve.proxmox.com https://pve.proxmox.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pve-user
