    Mount external CephFS - no fsname in /etc/pve/storage.cfg

    Hi I'm trying to add external cephfs storage directly in /etc/pve/storage.cfg because I need to specify "subdir". (It is not possible to type subdir in the GUI) But I also have to specify 'FS name' because it's not the default cephfs file system. Can I add 'FS name' to etc/pve/storage.cfg and how?

    Can you mount CephFS on PBS as Datastore?

    Hello guys, we have a PBS running in our Dev-Environment with a Tape-Lib attached, but as I found out, you can only backup to tape if the backups are on a Datastore beforehand... Originally I was planning to backup directly to tape, so I deployed a 1U PBS Server that barely has enough space for...

    ceph filesystem stuck in read only

    Hi, i'm looking for some help/ideas/advices in order to solve the problem that occurs on my metadata server after the server reboot. "Ceph status" warns about my MDS being "read only" but the fileystem and the data seem healthy. It is still possible to access the content of my cephfs volumes...

The vm's are a mix of win10 and centos 8. What i am trying to achieve is to have a part of cephfs treated as a directory which can be shared...

    CEPH multiple MDS on the same node

    Hi, I am running a 5-node ceph cluster (Octopus) and when I increased the number of active MDs from 2 to 4 I experienced a gain of performance in my CephFS. Since I have a lot of client using the cephfs pool I think it might be a good idea to increase the number of MDs even more...

    Ceph 16.2.6 - CEPHFS failed after upgrade from 16.2.5

    TL;DR - Upgrade from 16.2.5 to 16.2.6 - CEPHFS fails to start after upgrade, all MDS in "standby" - requires ceph fs compat <fs name> add_incompat 7 "mds uses inline data" to work again. Longer version : pve-manager/7.0-11/63d82f4e (running kernel: 5.11.22-5-pve) apt dist-upgraded, CEPH...

    CephFS user/permission conflict between different nodes (best practices?)

    Hi, we are using CephFS on a 3-node proxmox cluster. We have mounted the CephFS to /home on several different Debian clients. All Debian clients (server) see the files of the other Debian clients in the cephfs mount (/home). It happens that client XY has services on Debian client 1 and Debian...

    Confusing Ceph GUI Info when using multiple CephFS volumes

    I recently upgraded to Proxmox 7 and Ceph Pacific which brought multiple CephFS support. My goal was to create one FS on my HDD OSDs and one FS on my SSD OSDs so I can balance workloads across the two sets of hardware. I have a "performance" and "capacity" crush rule. Previously, I had 2 RBD...

    [SOLVED] [Warning] Ceph Upgrade Octopus 15.2.13 to Pacific 16.2.x

    This will probably not hit many people but it bit me and should be in the doc, at least until Octopus packages are upgraded to 15.2.14. The Bug that hit me: https://tracker.ceph.com/issues/51673 Fixed in 15.2.14: It was not easy to downgrade to Octopus but it can be done and everything is...

    Ceph MDS reports oversized cache

    Hello, we've noticed some latency in the last month in our ceph cluster and when I checked ceph dashboard I found this warning in the attached file. As I understood this means mds_cache_memory_limit property is not configured correctly. Can that be the reason why we experience latency in the...

    PVE/CEPH Cluster Verhalten

    Hallo, wir haben ein 3-Node CEPH/PVE Cluster (PVE 6.4-5/ CEPH 15.2.11) und haben ein paar Ausfalltests durchgeführt. Dabei ist uns aufgefallen, dass CEPH quasi gar nicht mehr reagiert, wenn die Links vom CEPH Public und CEPH Cluster Netzwerk down sind. Also auch die (pve-)ceph. Befehle geben...

    Backup ceph-fs?

    Hi, I’ve started to use pbs for VMs and containers backups, but I don’t find a way to backup Ceph file systems... I’ve created ceph-fs in the proxmox cluster. Is there any proper way to do it? If not, is there any plan for proxmox or pbs next releases to support this feature? Thanks!

Everything is backed up by 2x2 port 10G NIC in hybrid nodes and 1x2 port 10G NIC un processing nodes and two stacked N3K switches. Ceph does the thing for VM storage and...
