Supported Features of the Kernel Driver
|
|
========================================
|
|
The kernel driver is developed separately from the core ceph code, and as
|
|
such it sometimes differs from the FUSE driver in feature implementation.
|
|
The following details the implementation status of various CephFS features
|
|
in the kernel driver.
|
|
|
|
Inline data
|
|
-----------
|
|
Inline data was introduced by the Firefly release. This feature is being
|
|
deprecated in mainline CephFS, and may be removed from a future kernel
|
|
release.
|
|
|
|
Linux kernel clients >= 3.19 can read inline data and convert existing
|
|
inline data to RADOS objects when file data is modified. At present,
|
|
Linux kernel clients do not store file data as inline data.
|
|
|
|
See `Experimental Features`_ for more information.
|
|
|
|
Quotas
|
|
------
|
|
Quota was first introduced by the hammer release. Quota disk format got renewed
|
|
by the Mimic release. Linux kernel clients >= 4.17 can support the new format
|
|
quota. At present, no Linux kernel client support the old format quota.
|
|
|
|
See `Quotas`_ for more information.
|
|
|
|
Multiple file systems within a Ceph cluster
|
|
-------------------------------------------
|
|
The feature was introduced by the Jewel release. Linux kernel clients >= 4.7
|
|
can support it.
|
|
|
|
See `Experimental Features`_ for more information.
|
|
|
|
Multiple active metadata servers
|
|
--------------------------------
|
|
The feature has been supported since the Luminous release. It is recommended to
|
|
use Linux kernel clients >= 4.14 when there are multiple active MDS.
|
|
|
|
Snapshots
|
|
---------
|
|
The feature has been supported since the Mimic release. It is recommended to
|
|
use Linux kernel clients >= 4.17 if snapshot is used.
