This guide will describe how to build and test Ceph for development.
The run-make-check.sh
script will install Ceph dependencies,
compile everything in debug mode and run a number of tests to verify
the result behaves as expected.
$ ./run-make-check.sh
Ceph contains a script called vstart.sh
which allows developers to quickly test their code using
a simple deployment on your development system. Once the build finishes successfully, start the ceph
deployment using the following command:
$ cd src $ ./vstart.sh -d -n -x
You can also configure vstart.sh
to use only one monitor and one metadata server by using the following:
$ MON=1 MDS=1 ./vstart.sh -d -n -x
The system creates three pools on startup: cephfs_data, cephfs_metadata, and rbd. Let's get some stats on the current pools:
$ ./ceph osd pool stats *** DEVELOPER MODE: setting PATH, PYTHONPATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH *** pool rbd id 0 nothing is going on pool cephfs_data id 1 nothing is going on pool cephfs_metadata id 2 nothing is going on $ ./ceph osd pool stats cephfs_data *** DEVELOPER MODE: setting PATH, PYTHONPATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH *** pool cephfs_data id 1 nothing is going on $ ./rados df pool name category KB objects clones degraded unfound rd rd KB wr wr KB rbd - 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 cephfs_data - 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 cephfs_metadata - 2 20 0 40 0 0 0 21 8 total used 12771536 20 total avail 3697045460 total space 3709816996
Make a pool and run some benchmarks against it:
$ ./rados mkpool mypool $ ./rados -p mypool bench 10 write -b 123
Place a file into the new pool:
$ ./rados -p mypool put objectone <somefile> $ ./rados -p mypool put objecttwo <anotherfile>
List the objects in the pool:
$ ./rados -p mypool ls
Once you are done, type the following to stop the development ceph deployment:
$ ./stop.sh
Add the -r
to vstart.sh to enable the RadosGW
$ cd src $ ./vstart.sh -d -n -x -r
You can now use the swift python client to communicate with the RadosGW.
$ swift -A http://localhost:8000/auth -U tester:testing -K asdf list $ swift -A http://localhost:8000/auth -U tester:testing -K asdf upload mycontainer ceph $ swift -A http://localhost:8000/auth -U tester:testing -K asdf list
The tests are located in src/tests. To run them type:
$ make check
