I wanted to see how ver4 runs. Not having hardware in hand I used mission critical Proxmox cluster with Ceph Hyper. Proxmox OSes are running on ZFS mirror with enough space for 3 Petasan instances, so I installed all 3 on one node. Not having available any SSD, each Petasan received 3 virtual disks from Proxmox Ceph RBD.
Anything went smoothly starting Petasan cluster with 9 OSDs. A big surprise, it is working and actually very good. Performance is much better than expected. What about disks pass through to Petasan? Or even better, what about creating single Petasan node? It is not difficult to start Ceph on a single node. Question is web gui. Petasan web gui is great.
In last time, many FreeBSD ZFS based open source storages died. Rest of open source storages are more toys then serious storage. Anyone can make its own storage with FreeBSD or Debian + ZFS, but ZFS is not running as on FreeBSD. In the other hand, Ceph is native for Debian what we can see with Petasan.
So… There is no serious open source single node ZFS or ZFS-like storage. ZFS is great and Ceph scale-out is amazing. Petasan Ceph single node could become complete success.
How many of you are struggling with what to use for simply working single node CIFS/NFS/iSCSI storage, not needing a coffee machine integrated with bugs?
