.. _ceph-volume-zfs-api:
ZFS
===
The backend of ``ceph-volume zfs`` is ZFS, it relies heavily on the usage of
tags, which is a way for ZFS to allow extending its volume metadata. These
values can later be queried against devices and it is how they get discovered
later.
Currently this interface is only usable when running on FreeBSD.
.. warning:: These APIs are not meant to be public, but are documented so that
it is clear what the tool is doing behind the scenes. Do not alter
any of these values.
.. _ceph-volume-zfs-tag-api:
Tag API
-------
The process of identifying filesystems, volumes and pools as part of Ceph relies
on applying tags on all volumes. It follows a naming convention for the
namespace that looks like::
ceph.<tag name>=<tag value>
All tags are prefixed by the ``ceph`` keyword to claim ownership of that
namespace and make it easily identifiable. This is how the OSD ID would be used
in the context of zfs tags::
ceph.osd_id=0
Tags on filesystems are stored as property.
Tags on a zpool are stored in the comment property as a concatenated list
separated by ``;``
.. _ceph-volume-zfs-tags:
Metadata
--------
The following describes all the metadata from Ceph OSDs that is stored on a
ZFS filesystem, volume, pool:
``type``
--------
Describes if the device is an OSD or Journal, with the ability to expand to
other types when supported
Example::
ceph.type=osd
``cluster_fsid``
----------------
Example::
ceph.cluster_fsid=7146B649-AE00-4157-9F5D-1DBFF1D52C26
``data_device``
---------------
Example::
ceph.data_device=/dev/ceph/data-0
``data_uuid``
-------------
Example::
ceph.data_uuid=B76418EB-0024-401C-8955-AE6919D45CC3
``journal_device``
------------------
Example::
ceph.journal_device=/dev/ceph/journal-0
``journal_uuid``
----------------
Example::
ceph.journal_uuid=2070E121-C544-4F40-9571-0B7F35C6CB2B
``osd_fsid``
------------
Example::
ceph.osd_fsid=88ab9018-f84b-4d62-90b4-ce7c076728ff
``osd_id``
----------
Example::
ceph.osd_id=1
``block_device``
----------------
Just used on :term:`bluestore` backends. Captures the path to the logical
volume path.
Example::
ceph.block_device=/dev/gpt/block-0
``block_uuid``
--------------
Just used on :term:`bluestore` backends. Captures either the logical volume UUID or
the partition UUID.
Example::
ceph.block_uuid=E5F041BB-AAD4-48A8-B3BF-31F7AFD7D73E
``db_device``
-------------
Just used on :term:`bluestore` backends. Captures the path to the logical
volume path.
Example::
ceph.db_device=/dev/gpt/db-0
``db_uuid``
-----------
Just used on :term:`bluestore` backends. Captures either the logical volume UUID or
the partition UUID.
Example::
ceph.db_uuid=F9D02CF1-31AB-4910-90A3-6A6302375525
``wal_device``
--------------
Just used on :term:`bluestore` backends. Captures the path to the logical
volume path.
Example::
ceph.wal_device=/dev/gpt/wal-0
``wal_uuid``
------------
Just used on :term:`bluestore` backends. Captures either the logical volume UUID or
the partition UUID.
Example::
ceph.wal_uuid=A58D1C68-0D6E-4CB3-8E99-B261AD47CC39
``compression``
---------------
A compression-enabled device can always be set using the native zfs settings on
a volume or filesystem. This will/can be activated during creation of the volume
of filesystem.
When activated by ``ceph-volume zfs`` this tag will be created.
Compression manually set AFTER ``ceph-volume`` will go unnoticed, unless this
tag is also manually set.
Example for an enabled compression device::
ceph.vdo=1
