Ceph

I built this trying to get kubernetes working. I realized I couldn’t have dynamic state without finding a distributed filesystem.

ariadne@tiny-4:~$ sudo ceph status

  cluster:
    id:     06184e1d-d46d-43fb-80ef-8b485942ca80
    health: HEALTH_OK
 
  services:
    mon: 3 daemons, quorum tiny-5,tiny-4,tiny-7 (age 12d)
    mgr: tiny-5(active, since 2w), standbys: tiny-4, tiny-7
    mds: 1/1 daemons up, 2 standby
    osd: 4 osds: 4 up (since 13d), 4 in (since 7M)
 
  data:
    volumes: 1/1 healthy
    pools:   4 pools, 97 pgs
    objects: 7.92k objects, 30 GiB
    usage:   88 GiB used, 2.4 TiB / 2.5 TiB avail
    pgs:     97 active+clean

My first ceph cluster I tried with USB 3.0 thumbdrives … ceph eats bandwidth, so this is backed with 20G port channels with NVME drives.

ariadne@tiny-4:~$ sudo rados bench -p rbd 10 write --no-cleanup
