Set the preferred OSD to use as the primary
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.SH LIMITATIONS
|
||
|
|
When setting layout data, the specified stripe unit and stripe count
|
||
|
|
must multiply to the size of an object. Any parameters you don't set explicitly are left at the system defaults.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Obviously setting the layout of a file and a directory means different things.
|
||
|
|
Setting the layout of a file specifies exactly how to place the individual file. This must be done before writing *any* data to it. Truncating a file does not allow you to change the layout either.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Setting the layout of a directory sets the "default layout", which is used to set the file layouts on any files subsequently created in the directory (or any subdirectory). Pre-existing files do not have their layouts changed.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You'll notice that the layout information allows you to specify a preferred OSD for placement. This is allowed but is not recommended since it can dramatically unbalance your storage cluster's space utilization.
