So I am trying to put together a shared filesystem that I can mount in my VMs for storage and configuration files.
I have successfully gotten Ceph installed on Proxmox but now I am left with how I actually set it up. It seems like the easiest way is to use ZFS block devices but I also know that would add a lot of overhead. My other option is to try to move around my physical storage. Currently each one of my machines has a ZFS mirror that is composed of 2 sata ssds. I could do some rearranging and get three more disks but I really don’t like that idea. For that to work I would need to pickup some USB3 sata adapters because two of my machines don’t have any more room.
I am not planning or storing any VMs on ceph. I am using it purely for storage of my container volumes and config files. The total data stored should stay under 20G.
Update: I figured I would go ahead and try this. However I am getting the error unable to get device info for ‘/dev/zd48’ when creating OSDs
