S3 Chunk Size
-
Hello,
I added a S3-compatible cloud storage as a remote backup target to XenOrchestra. There are no problems, everything is working as expected and the performance is good. I can create backups and restore them.
But, the service provider's documentation states, "You must set the minimum Chunk Size for backups to 4MB". How can I find out what this value is for my system? And if I need to change it, how can I do so? -
@rizaemet-0 this is not configurable .
before qcow2 the S3 blocks were aligned with the VHD blocks, then compressed, so changing it would have been a lot of work
now with qcow2 support almost reaching stable, we have some of the tools available to resize the block size on the file ( since qcow2 are based on 64KB blocks) , so it's not impossible, but it's still quite complex to do reliablyCould you name the provider ?

@florent We are a university in Türkiye. The S3 service is provided to us by the National Academic Network and Information Center (ULAKBİM), an official institution of Türkiye.

Do you know what software are they using? Ceph? Minio? Garage?

@olivierlambert Ceph. There are a few configuration examples. That's how I learned it's Ceph.
