NAME
ceph-osd - ceph object storage daemon
SYNOPSIS
ceph-osd
-i osdnum [ --osd-data datapath ] [
--osd-journal
journal ] [ --mkfs ] [ --mkjournal ] [--flush-journal]
[--check-allows-journal] [--check-wants-journal]
[--check-needs-journal] [ --mkkey ] [ --osdspec-affinity
]
DESCRIPTION
ceph-osd is the object storage daemon for the Ceph distributed file system. It is responsible for storing objects on a local file system and providing access to them over the network.
The datapath argument should be a directory on a xfs file system where the object data resides. The journal is optional, and is only useful performance-wise when it resides on a different disk than datapath with low latency (ideally, an NVRAM device).
OPTIONS
-f, --foreground
Foreground: do not daemonize after startup (run in foreground). Do not generate a pid file. Useful when run via ceph-run(8).
|
-d |
Debug mode: like -f, but also send all log output to stderr. |
--setuser userorgid
Set uid after starting. If a username is specified, the user record is looked up to get a uid and a gid, and the gid is also set as well, unless --setgroup is also specified.
--setgroup grouporgid
Set gid after starting. If a group name is specified the group record is looked up to get a gid.
--osd-data osddata
Use object store at osddata.
--osd-journal journal
Journal updates to journal.
--check-wants-journal
Check whether a journal is desired.
--check-allows-journal
Check whether a journal is allowed.
--check-needs-journal
Check whether a journal is required.
|
--mkfs |
Create an empty object repository. This also initializes the journal (if one is defined). |
--mkkey
Generate a new secret key. This is normally used in combination with --mkfs as it is more convenient than generating a key by hand with ceph-authtool(8).
--mkjournal
Create a new journal file to match an existing object repository. This is useful if the journal device or file is wiped out due to a disk or file system failure.
--flush-journal
Flush the journal to permanent store. This runs in the foreground so you know when it's completed. This can be useful if you want to resize the journal or need to otherwise destroy it: this guarantees you won't lose data.
--get-cluster-fsid
Print the cluster fsid (uuid) and exit.
--get-osd-fsid
Print the OSD's fsid and exit. The OSD's uuid is generated at --mkfs time and is thus unique to a particular instantiation of this OSD.
--get-journal-fsid
Print the journal's uuid. The journal fsid is set to match the OSD fsid at --mkfs time.
-c ceph.conf, --conf=ceph.conf
Use ceph.conf configuration file instead of the default /etc/ceph/ceph.conf for runtime configuration options.
-m monaddress[:port]
Connect to specified monitor (instead of looking through ceph.conf).
--osdspec-affinity
Set an affinity to a certain OSDSpec. This option can only be used in conjunction with --mkfs.
AVAILABILITY
ceph-osd is part of Ceph, a massively scalable, open-source, distributed storage system. Please refer to the Ceph documentation at http://ceph.com/docs for more information.
