Ceph Internals

Note

If you’re looking for how to use Ceph as a library from your own software, please see API Documentation.

You can start a development mode Ceph cluster, after compiling the source, with:

cd src
install -d -m0755 out dev/osd0
./vstart.sh -n -x -l
# check that it's there
./ceph health

Todo

vstart is woefully undocumented and full of sharp sticks to poke yourself with.
