Ceph Filesystem ( CephFS) :: Step by Step Configuration
CephFS
Ceph Filesystem is a posix compliant file system that uses ceph storage cluster to store its data. This is the only ceph component that is not ready for production , i would like to say ready for pre-production.
Internals
Thanks to http://ceph.com/docs/master/cephfs/ for Image |
Requirement of CephFS
- You need a running ceph cluster with at least one MDS node. MDS is required for CephFS to work.
- If you don't have MDS configure one
- # ceph-deploy mds create <MDS-NODE-ADDRESS>
Note : If you are running short of hardware or want to save hardware you can run MDS services on existing Monitor nodes. MDS services does not need much resources
- A Ceph client to mount cephFS
Configuring CephFS
- Install ceph on client node
[root@storage0101-ib ceph]# ceph-deploy install na_fedora19
[ceph_deploy.cli][INFO ] Invoked (1.3.2): /usr/bin/ceph-deploy install na_fedora19

[root@storage0101-ib ceph]#
- Create a new pool for CephFS
# rados mkpool cephfs
- Create a new keyring (client.cephfs) for cephfs
# ceph auth get-or-create client.cephfs mon 'allow r' osd 'allow rwx pool=cephfs' -o /etc/ceph/client.cephfs.keyring
- Extract secret key from keyring
# ceph-authtool -p -n client.cephfs /etc/ceph/client.cephfs.keyring > /etc/ceph/client.cephfs
- Copy the secret file to client node under /etc/ceph . This allow filesystem to mount when cephx authentication is enabled
# scp client.cephfs na_fedora19:/etc/ceph
client.cephfs 100% 41 0.0KB/s 00:00
- List all the keys on ceph cluster
# ceph auth list
Option-1 : Mount CephFS with Kernel Driver
- On the client machine add mount point in /etc/fstab . Provide IP address of your ceph monitor node and path of secret key that we have created above
192.168.200.101:6789:/ /cephfs ceph name=cephfs,secretfile=/etc/ceph/client.cephfs,noatime 0 2
- Mount cephfs mount point , you might see some "mount: error writing /etc/mtab: Invalid argument" but you can ignore them and check df -h
[root@na_fedora19 ceph]# mount /cephfs
mount: error writing /etc/mtab: Invalid argument
[root@na_fedora19 ceph]#
[root@na_fedora19 ceph]# df -h

Option-2 : Mounting CephFS as FUSE
- Copy ceph configuration file ( ceph.conf ) from monitor node to client node and make sure it has permission of 644
# scp ceph.conf na_fedora19:/etc/ceph
# chmod 644 ceph.conf
- Copy the secret file from monitor node to client node under /etc/ceph. This allow filesystem to mount when cephx authentication is enabled ( we have done this earlier )
# scp client.cephfs na_fedora19:/etc/ceph
client.cephfs 100% 41 0.0KB/s 00:00
- Make sure you have "ceph-fuse" package installed on client machine
# rpm -qa | grep -i ceph-fuse
ceph-fuse-0.72.2-0.fc19.x86_64
- To mount Ceph Filesystem as FUSE use ceph-fuse comand
[root@na_fedora19 ceph]# ceph-fuse -m 192.168.100.101:6789 /cephfs
ceph-fuse[3256]: starting ceph client
ceph-fuse[3256]: starting fuse
[root@na_csc_fedora19 ceph]#
[root@na_fedora19 ceph]# df -h
