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 to map RBD block devices or mount
|
|
CephFS, the general advice is to use a "stable" or "longterm
|
|
maintenance" kernel series provided by either http://kernel.org or
|
|
your Linux distribution on any client hosts.
|
|
|
|
For RBD, if you choose to *track* long-term kernels, we currently recommend
|
|
4.x-based "longterm maintenance" kernel series or later:
|
|
|
|
- 4.19.z
|
|
- 4.14.z
|
|
- 5.x
|
|
|
|
For CephFS, see the section about `Mounting CephFS using Kernel Driver`_
|
|
for kernel version guidance.
|
|
|
|
Older kernel client versions may not support your `CRUSH tunables`_ profile
|
|
or other newer features of the Ceph cluster, requiring the storage cluster
|
|
to be configured with those features disabled.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Platforms
|
|
=========
|
|
|
|
The charts below show how Ceph's requirements map onto various Linux
|
|
platforms. Generally speaking, there is very little dependence on
|
|
specific distributions outside of the kernel and system initialization
|
|
package (i.e., sysvinit, systemd).

|
|
|
|
- **A**: Ceph provides packages and has done comprehensive tests on the software in them.
|
|
- **B**: Ceph provides packages and has done basic tests on the software in them.
|
|
- **C**: Ceph provides packages only. No tests have been done on these releases.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
**For Centos 7 Users**
|
|
|
|
``Btrfs`` is no longer tested on Centos 7 in the Octopus release. We recommend using ``bluestore`` instead.
