Re: [ceph-devel] Hardware-config suggestions for HDD-based OSD node?

Craig: I expect that Sage will have a lot more to offer you in this area, but for now I have a few responses I can offer off the top of my head. :) 1) It's early days for Ceph. We're going to be offering a public beta of the object store Real Soon Now that I expect will give us a better idea of how

Re: [ceph-devel] Unexpected rmpool behavior

2010-03-14 Thread Gregory Farnum
Christian: I've just tested this and it sure looks to me like deleting a pool deletes the objects in it. It's not necessarily instantaneous, though -- stuff won't get deleted until the OSD gets a new OSDMap. Try writing something (which will generally put new maps on all the OSDs involved) and see

Re: [ceph-devel] Scalability

2010-02-21 Thread Gregory Farnum
Avishay: It's been a while since we've expressly tested scalability in Ceph, because doing so is pretty hard -- it takes a lot of nodes. The most recent figures I'm aware of come from an early version of the code (2007) and are described in Sage's thesis (available at ceph.newdream.net), in which p

Re: [ceph-devel] csyn problem with multiple clients

2010-02-10 Thread Gregory Farnum
Hrm, it looks like csyn or some aspect of messaging was broken in the v.18 release. However, I've confirmed that it works (at least that command does) in the latest unstable version. If you're just evaluating Ceph right now; I'd recommend doing so with the unstable release in git, as a number of re

Roman: Problems like this pop up occasionally as we make changes to the system and it encounters new operating scenarios. Unfortunately, the list system doesn't pass through attachments -- could you upload them somewhere (or use pastebin.com) and give us the address? Alternatively you can try the

Can you give us more details? What does your ceph.conf look like? What's the exact error? -Greg On Fri, Nov 20, 2009 at 10:56 AM, Amarnath BS wrote: > > hello every one, > I have tried to setup ceph using three nodes.one > node acting as mds+client and other two as OSD's

Re: [ceph-devel] Hadoop

2009-10-06 Thread Gregory Farnum
All, Sage forgot to mention that of course using these modules requires a few minor changes to Hadoop's configuration classes. If you're comfortable editing their codebase then simply adding the ceph package into their build system will lead you through the process (just fix each build error!), but
