Ceph - a scalable distributed storage system
============================================
Please see http://ceph.com/ for current info.

Checking out the source
=======================
You can clone from github with
git clone git@github.com:ceph/ceph
or, if you are not a github user,
git clone git://github.com/ceph/ceph
Ceph contains many git submodules that need to be checked out with
git submodule update --init --recursive
Build Prerequisites
===================
The list of Debian or RPM packages dependencies can be installed with:
./install-deps.sh
Building Ceph
=============
Note that these instructions are meant for developers who are
compiling the code for development and testing. To build binaries
suitable for installation we recommend you build deb or rpm packages,
or refer to the ceph.spec.in or debian/rules to see which
configuration options are specified for production builds.
Prerequisite: CMake 2.8.11
Build instructions:
./do_cmake.sh
cd build
make
This assumes you make your build dir a subdirectory of the ceph.git
checkout. If you put it elsewhere, just replace .. above with a
correct path to the checkout.
To build only certain targets use:
make [target name]
To install:
make install
CMake Options
-------------
If you run the `cmake` command by hand, there are many options you can
set with "-D". For example the option to build the RADOS Gateway is
defaulted to ON. To build without the RADOS Gateway:
cmake -DWITH_RADOSGW=OFF [path to top level ceph directory]
Another example below is building with debugging and alternate locations
for a couple of external dependencies:
cmake -DLEVELDB_PREFIX="/opt/hyperleveldb" -DOFED_PREFIX="/opt/ofed" \
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/accelio -DCMAKE_C_FLAGS="-O0 -g3 -gdwarf-4" \
..
To view an exhaustive list of -D options, you can invoke `cmake` with:
cmake -LH
If you often pipe `make` to `less` and would like to maintain the
diagnostic colors for errors and warnings (and if your compiler
supports it), you can invoke `cmake` with:
cmake -DDIAGNOSTICS_COLOR=always ..
Then you'll get the diagnostic colors when you execute:
make | less -R
Other available values for 'DIAGNOSTICS_COLOR' are 'auto' (default) and
'never'.
Building packages
-----------------
You can build packages for Debian or Debian-derived (e.g., Ubuntu)
systems with
2008-03-18 16:31:04 +00:00
sudo apt-get install dpkg-dev
dpkg-checkbuilddeps # make sure we have all dependencies
dpkg-buildpackage
2008-03-18 16:31:04 +00:00
For RPM-based systems (Red Hat, SUSE, etc.),
2008-05-13 15:45:13 +00:00
rpmbuild
Running a test cluster
======================
To run a functional test cluster,
cd build
make vstart # builds just enough to run vstart
../src/vstart.sh -d -n -x -l
./bin/ceph -s
Almost all of the usual commands are available in the bin/ directory.
For example,
./bin/rados -p rbd bench 30 write
./bin/rbd create foo --size 1000
To shut down the test cluster,
../src/stop.sh
To start or stop individual daemons, the sysvinit script can be used:
./bin/init-ceph restart osd.0
./bin/init-ceph stop
Running unit tests
==================
To build and run all tests (in parallel using all processors), use `ctest`:
cd build
make
ctest -j$(nproc)
(Note: Many targets built from src/test are not run using `ctest`.
Targets starting with "unittest" are run in `make check` and thus can
be run with `ctest`. Targets starting with "ceph_test" can not, and should
be run by hand.)
To build and run all tests and their dependencies without other
unnecessary targets in Ceph:
cd build
make check -j$(nproc)
To run an individual test manually, run `ctest` with -R (regex matching):
ctest -R [regex matching test name(s)]
(Note: `ctest` does not build the test it's running or the dependencies needed
to run it)
To run an individual test manually and see all the tests output, run
`ctest` with the -V (verbose) flag:
ctest -V -R [regex matching test name(s)]
To run an tests manually and run the jobs in parallel, run `ctest` with
the -j flag:
ctest -j [number of jobs]
There are many other flags you can give `ctest` for better control
over manual test execution. To view these options run:
man ctest
Building the Documentation
==========================
Prerequisites
-------------
The list of package dependencies for building the documentation can be
found in doc_deps.deb.txt:
sudo apt-get install `cat doc_deps.deb.txt`
Building the Documentation
--------------------------
To build the documentation, ensure that you are in the top-level
`/ceph directory, and execute the build script. For example:
admin/build-doc
