- support for asynchronous create and unlink (Jeff Layton). Creates
and unlinks are satisfied locally, without waiting for a reply from
the MDS, provided the client has been granted appropriate caps (new
in v15.y.z ("Octopus") release). This can be a big help for metadata
heavy workloads such as tar and rsync. Opt-in with the new nowsync
mount option.
- multiple blk-mq queues for rbd (Hannes Reinecke and myself). When
the driver was converted to blk-mq, we settled on a single blk-mq
queue because of a global lock in libceph and some other technical
debt. These have since been addressed, so allocate a queue per CPU
to enhance parallelism.
- don't hold onto caps that aren't actually needed (Zheng Yan). This
has been our long-standing behavior, but it causes issues with some
active/standby applications (synchronous I/O, stalls if the standby
goes down, etc).

Ceph Distributed File System
|
|
============================
|
|
|
|
Ceph is a distributed network file system designed to provide good
|
|
performance, reliability, and scalability.
|
|
|
|
Basic features include:
|
|
|
|
* POSIX semantics
|
|
* Seamless scaling from 1 to many thousands of nodes
|
|
* High availability and reliability. No single point of failure.
|
|
* N-way replication of data across storage nodes
|
|
* Fast recovery from node failures
|
|
* Automatic rebalancing of data on node addition/removal
|
|
* Easy deployment: most FS components are userspace daemons
|
|
|
|
Also,
|
|
|
|
* Flexible snapshots (on any directory)
|
|
* Recursive accounting (nested files, directories, bytes)
|
|
|
|
In contrast to cluster filesystems like GFS, OCFS2, and GPFS that rely
|
|
on symmetric access by all clients to shared block devices, Ceph
|
|
separates data and metadata management into independent server
|
|
clusters, similar to Lustre. Unlike Lustre, however, metadata and
|
|
storage nodes run entirely as user space daemons. File data is striped
|
|
across storage nodes in large chunks to distribute workload and
|
|
facilitate high throughputs. When storage nodes fail, data is
|
|
re-replicated in a distributed fashion by the storage nodes themselves
|
|
(with some minimal coordination from a cluster monitor), making the
|
|
system extremely efficient and scalable.
|
|
|
|
Metadata servers effectively form a large, consistent, distributed
|
|
in-memory cache above the file namespace that is extremely scalable,
|
|
dynamically redistributes metadata in response to workload changes,
|
|
and can tolerate arbitrary (well, non-Byzantine) node failures. The
|
|
metadata server takes a somewhat unconventional approach to metadata
|
|
storage to significantly improve performance for common workloads. In
|
|
particular, inodes with only a single link are embedded in
|
|
directories, allowing entire directories of dentries and inodes to be
|
|
loaded into its cache with a single I/O operation. The contents of
|
|
extremely large directories can be fragmented and managed by
|
|
independent metadata servers, allowing scalable concurrent access.
|
|
|
|
The system offers automatic data rebalancing/migration when scaling
|
|
from a small cluster of just a few nodes to many hundreds, without
|
|
requiring an administrator carve the data set into static volumes or
|
|
go through the tedious process of migrating data between servers.
|
|
When the file system approaches full, new nodes can be easily added
|
|
and things will "just work."
|
|
|
|
Ceph includes flexible snapshot mechanism that allows a user to create
|
|
a snapshot on any subdirectory (and its nested contents) in the
|
|
system. Snapshot creation and deletion are as simple as 'mkdir
|
|
.snap/foo' and 'rmdir .snap/foo'.
|
|
|
|
Ceph also provides some recursive accounting on directories for nested
|
|
files and bytes. That is, a 'getfattr -d foo' on any directory in the
|
|
system will reveal the total number of nested regular files and
|
|
subdirectories, and a summation of all nested file sizes. This makes
|
|
the identification of large disk space consumers relatively quick, as
|
|
no 'du' or similar recursive scan of the file system is required.
|
|
|
|
Finally, Ceph also allows quotas to be set on any directory in the system.
|
|
The quota can restrict the number of bytes or the number of files stored
|
|
beneath that point in the directory hierarchy. Quotas can be set using
|
|
extended attributes 'ceph.quota.max_files' and 'ceph.quota.max_bytes', eg::
|
|
|
|
setfattr -n ceph.quota.max_bytes -v 100000000 /some/dir
|
|
getfattr -n ceph.quota.max_bytes /some/dir
|
|
|
|
A limitation of the current quotas implementation is that it relies on the
|
|
cooperation of the client mounting the file system to stop writers when a
|
|
limit is reached. A modified or adversarial client cannot be prevented
|
|
from writing as much data as it needs.
|
|
|
|
Mount Syntax
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
The basic mount syntax is::
|
|
|
|
# mount -t ceph monip[:port][,monip2[:port]...]:/[subdir] mnt
|
|
|
|
You only need to specify a single monitor, as the client will get the
|
|
full list when it connects. (However, if the monitor you specify
|
|
happens to be down, the mount won't succeed.) The port can be left
|
|
off if the monitor is using the default. So if the monitor is at
|
|
1.2.3.4::
|
|
|
|
# mount -t ceph 1.2.3.4:/ /mnt/ceph
|
|
|
|
is sufficient. If /sbin/mount.ceph is installed, a hostname can be
|
|
used instead of an IP address.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Mount Options
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
ip=A.B.C.D[:N]
|
|
Specify the IP and/or port the client should bind to locally.
|
|
There is normally not much reason to do this. If the IP is not
|
|
specified, the client's IP address is determined by looking at the
|
|
address its connection to the monitor originates from.
|
|
|
|
wsize=X
|
|
Specify the maximum write size in bytes. Default: 64 MB.
|
|
|
|
rsize=X
|
|
Specify the maximum read size in bytes. Default: 64 MB.
|
|
|
|
rasize=X
|
|
Specify the maximum readahead size in bytes. Default: 8 MB.
|
|
|
|
mount_timeout=X
|
|
Specify the timeout value for mount (in seconds), in the case
|
|
of a non-responsive Ceph file system. The default is 60
|
|
seconds.
|
|
|
|
caps_max=X
|
|
Specify the maximum number of caps to hold. Unused caps are released
|
|
when number of caps exceeds the limit. The default is 0 (no limit)
|
|
|
|
rbytes
|
|
When stat() is called on a directory, set st_size to 'rbytes',
|
|
the summation of file sizes over all files nested beneath that
|
|
directory. This is the default.
|
|
|
|
norbytes
|
|
When stat() is called on a directory, set st_size to the
|
|
number of entries in that directory.
|
|
|
|
nocrc
|
|
Disable CRC32C calculation for data writes. If set, the storage node
|
|
must rely on TCP's error correction to detect data corruption
|
|
in the data payload.
|
|
|
|
dcache
|
|
Use the dcache contents to perform negative lookups and
|
|
readdir when the client has the entire directory contents in
|
|
its cache. (This does not change correctness; the client uses
|
|
cached metadata only when a lease or capability ensures it is
|
|
valid.)
|
|
|
|
nodcache
|
|
Do not use the dcache as above. This avoids a significant amount of
|
|
complex code, sacrificing performance without affecting correctness,
|
|
and is useful for tracking down bugs.
|
|
|
|
noasyncreaddir
|
|
Do not use the dcache as above for readdir.
|
|
|
|
noquotadf
|
|
Report overall filesystem usage in statfs instead of using the root
|
|
directory quota.
|
|
|
|
nocopyfrom
|
|
Don't use the RADOS 'copy-from' operation to perform remote object
|
|
copies. Currently, it's only used in copy_file_range, which will revert
|
|
to the default VFS implementation if this option is used.
|
|
|
|
recover_session=<no|clean>
|
|
Set auto reconnect mode in the case where the client is blacklisted. The
|
|
available modes are "no" and "clean". The default is "no".
|
|
|
|
* no: never attempt to reconnect when client detects that it has been
|
|
blacklisted. Operations will generally fail after being blacklisted.
|
|
|
|
* clean: client reconnects to the ceph cluster automatically when it
|
|
detects that it has been blacklisted. During reconnect, client drops
|
|
dirty data/metadata, invalidates page caches and writable file handles.
|
|
After reconnect, file locks become stale because the MDS loses track
|
|
of them. If an inode contains any stale file locks, read/write on the
|
|
inode is not allowed until applications release all stale file locks.
