pve-moosefs

MooseFS on Proxmox. This is HIGHLY EXPERIMENTAL! Please do not be upset at me if it eats your data!

DISCLAIMER

This is NOT production ready yet. It's probably only interesting to Proxmox developers and extremely daring people. You've been warned.

Usage

Perform the following steps on your Proxmox host(s):

• Clone this Git repository and enter it with cd
• Make the Debian package: make
• Install the Debian package: dpkg -i *.deb

Now mount the storage: pvesm add moosefs moosefs-vm-storage --path /mnt/mfs

In this example, we create a custom storage called "moosefs-vm-storage" using the moosefs plugin we just installed.

You can apply the following optional settings:

• --mfsmaster mfsmaster.my.hostname - Set the mfsmaster IP or hostname to help MooseFS find the metadata server(s).
• --mfspassword mypasswordhere - If your MooseFS exports require a password to mount MooseFS, set this.
• --mfsport 9421 - If you're running the mfsmaster on a custom port, you can set this. Note: Doesn't currently do anything 🚧

Future features

• Instant snapshots, rollbacks etc
• mfsbdev support for high performance?
• mfssubfolder support
