Ceph Dependencies
|
|
=================
|
|
|
|
As a general rule, we recommend deploying Ceph on newer releases of Linux.
|
|
We also recommend deploying on releases with long-term support.
|
|
|
|
Linux Kernel
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
- **Ceph Kernel Client**
|
|
|
|
If you are using the kernel client, the general advice is to *track* "stable"
|
|
or "longterm maintenance" kernel series provided by either http://kernel.org
|
|
or your distribution on the kernel client machines.
|
|
|
|
For RBD, if you choose to *track* long-term kernels, we currently recommend
|
|
4.x-based "longterm maintenance" kernel series:
|
|
|
|
- 4.9.z
|
|
- 4.4.z
|
|
|
|
These are considered pretty old, but if you must:
|
|
|
|
- 3.16.z
|
|
- 3.10.z
|
|
|
|
For CephFS, see `CephFS best practices`_ for kernel version guidance.
|
|
|
|
Older kernel client versions may not support your `CRUSH tunables`_ profile.
|
|
|
|
- **B-tree File System (Btrfs)**
|
|
|
|
If you use the ``btrfs`` file system with Ceph, we recommend using a
|
|
recent Linux kernel (3.14 or later).
|
|
|
|
Platforms
|
|
=========
|
|
|
|
The charts below show how Ceph's requirements map onto various Linux
|
|
platforms. Generally speaking, there is very little dependence on
|
|
specific distributions aside from the kernel and system initialization
|
|
package (i.e., sysvinit, upstart, systemd).
|
|
|
|
Infernalis (9.2.z) and Jewel (10.2.z)

Notes
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
- **1**: The default kernel has an older version of ``btrfs`` that we do not
|
|
recommend for ``ceph-osd`` storage nodes. Upgrade to a recommended
|
|
kernel or use ``XFS``.
|
|
|
|
- **2**: The default kernel has an old Ceph client that we do not recommend
|
|
for kernel client (kernel RBD or the Ceph file system). Upgrade to a
|
|
recommended kernel.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Testing
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
- **B**: We build release packages for this platform. For some of these
|
|
platforms, we may also continuously build all ceph branches and exercise
|
|
basic unit tests.
|
|
|
|
- **I**: We do basic installation and functionality tests of releases on this
|
|
platform.
|
|
|
|
- **C**: We run a comprehensive functional, regression, and stress test suite
|
|
on this platform on a continuous basis. This includes development branches,
|
|
pre-release, and released code.
