2 items of interest this week in StL.
Of most interest & importance, the awaited presentation by SuSE. They This
topic had planned to present this to us while they were here for their nation wide,
travelling show last September. That show was cancelled, and we’ve been trying to
schedule it since. SO, we are elated that Michael will be coming in from Kansas City
just to do this. We hope to have a great turnout of our members and other interested
parties, so please invite everyone you know who is interested in Linux distress, file
systems, or SuSE! So, make sure you all come Thurs nite! (Yes, we used to have the
separate SuSE LUG at lunch time but we will do this as the regular nite-time mtng.)
The secondary event this week is the revival of the Red Hat Group. Not a part of the StL
LUG but rather a wholly-owned marketing arm of RedHat (now IBM) Corp., this group hasn’t
me for the 15 months of IBM’s acquisition.
Now, on Wed (i.e. TOMORROW) it resumes

Why EVERY Sysadmin should consider the CephFS file system.
Michael Carrington (SuSE Linux Corp.wants us to know WHY EVERY SysAdmin should consider
using CephFS, wether for considered for that big-honking Storage Array Cluster on the
corporate enterprise or THE SMALL scale user, i.e. small office,... or even home/single
user. What features YOU may want to be aware and perhaps use CEPH. Come hear why!
Since we haven’t had a speaker from SuSE in awhile, this will be part of a broader
discussion, i.e.
1. SUSE - What has happened recently.
2. SUSE Enterprise Linux - you know our kernel
3. SUSE Enterprise Storage -
• 50,000' view
• architecture
• uses
• Why you, as a UNIX admin should care
4. Other stuff
===========================
The CephFS specifics:
Ceph File System is an "object storage based”, free software, storage platform that
stores data on a single distributed computer cluster. It provides interfaces for
object-, block- and file-level storage. Ceph aims primarily to be: completely
distributed without a single point of failure, scalable to the exabyte level, and freely
available.
Ceph replicates data and makes it fault-tolerant,[4] using commodity hardware and
requiring no specific hardware support. As a result of its design, the system is both
self-healing and self-managing, aiming to minimize administration time and other costs.
Ceph started in 2012. Was considered production ready in 2017. It was most recently
updated in March 2019 w nearly annual releases.
Developers include: Canonical, CERN, Cisco, Fujitsu, Intel, Red Hat, SanDisk, & SUSE.
We in SLUUG had talks on it in Apr 2016 & Aug 2017.
