              Ok,

              i start my adventure but I get soon an issue.

              This command install the nautilus release Repo:

              yum install centos-release-ceph-nautilus --enablerepo=extras

              and worked fine.

              This one should installed ceph-common but cannot find many dependencies

              yum install ceph-common

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

              Of course I'm using a higher version of Ceph than your post.
              Any hint anyway?

                Ok, solved.
                Of course Ceph need Epel and Base repo enabled.

                This worked:

                yum install epel-release -y --enablerepo=extras
yum install ceph-common --enablerepo='centos-ceph-nautilus' --enablerepo='epel' --enablerepo='base'

                    Hi @maxcuttins - what's your XCP-NG version and can you share checksum for your NFSSR.py file?

                      Hi,

                      I also play around with xcp-ng and ceph and just tried to use CephFS as a storage repos. I am using XCP-ng 8.0.0 with Ceph Nautilus. Before I tried to use lvm on top of a rbd which basically works but performance is really bad this way.

                      So I downloaded your patch and ran it on my test 8.0.0 xenserver, all Hunks succeeded. ceph is also installed, modprobe ceph works. Next I tried to add a new cephFs repository just as you described it above.

                      In the end I see an error box pooping up in XencCenter: "SM has thrown a generic python exception". And thats all.

                      In /var/log/SMlog I see the log attached below.

                      Thanks

                            @Rainer Please share your NFSSR.py to check. Are you able to manually mount the SR using #mount.ceph addr1,addr2,addr3,addr4:remotepath localpath?

                              Hello,

                              thanks for your answer. I can mount the the CephFS filesystem on the xenserver this way:

                              mount.ceph  1.2.3.4:/base /mnt -o "name=admin,secretfile=/etc/ceph/admin.secret"

                              where 1.2.3.4 is the IP of the active ceph monitor.

                              In xencenters New-SR-dialog I put the "1.2.3.4:/base" part in the "Share Name" input field and the options name=admin,secretfile=/etc/ceph/admin.secret in the "Advanced Options" field .

                              Below I attached my patched /opt/xensource/sm/NFSSR.py file:
                              [0_1569574207746_NFSSR.py](Uploading 100%)

                              NFSSR.py.txt

                                Just so you know - the original patch was for XCP-NG 7.6. I'm checking it for XCP-NG 8.

                                  Can you share /opt/xensource/sm/nfs.py as well... it was also supposed to be patched.

                                      Note that all are hacks are won't survive any upgrade and aren't supported 😉 But it's fine for a proof of concept.

                                        Agree - unless we have enough interest from community to pack it or make it maintainable, it will stay a hack.

                                        Also mentioning the command to apply patch # patch -d/ -p1 < cephfs-8.patch

                                        Edit : updated patch strip level

                                          Hello and thanks for the new patch. I understand that this is only a kind of hack or better a proof of concept. I do not want to use this for a productive system but only wanted to give it a try with nautilus and see what performance I can expect if this hack hopefully develops to a supported integration of Ceph.

                                          I hoped that the patch might work for XCP-ng 8.0 as well but it seems it does not that easily. So I could also install a xenserver 7.6 and use the original patch and test how it works for me. I do not want you to invest too much work in the 8.0 adoption. So if you think testing the patch 8.0 does not really help you in any way, then please do not hesitate and tell me. Else if you are as well interested to test if it works with 8.0 here is what I found out:

                                          The new patch does not work completely, there is a "patch unexpectedly ends in middle of line" -warning. On a fresh installed system:

                                          # cd /
# patch --verbose -p0  < /cephfs-8.patch
mm...  Looks like a unified diff to me...

Hmm...  The next patch looks like a unified diff to me...

                                          I can do a ceph.mount just like described before but when I instead try to create a new Ceph-FS-SR named "Ceph" in xencenter 8.0.0 I still get the error that SM has thrown a generic python exception.

                                          The SMlog error log indicates that creating a NFS repos is tried with the given parameters and not a CephFS one:

                                          I attached my /opt/xensource/sm/nfs.py file as well.

                                          Thanks a lot

                                            @r1 said in CEPH FS Storage Driver:

                                            patch -d/ -p0 < cephfs-8.patch

                                            Please try # patch -d/ -p0 < cephfs-8.patch
