使用ceph block device需要如下三个步骤：
1. 在ceph 集群的pool中创建一个Block Device image.
2. ceph Client使用RBD设备与ceph集群的Block Device image进行映射（Map）。
3. ceph Client的User Space便可以挂载(Mount)该RBD设备。
Step1 创建Block Device Image
首先，需要新建一个pool，如果不想新建pool，可以使用默认pool，即rbd。
命令：ceph osd pool create <creating_pool_name> <pg_num>
参数：creating_pool_name ： 要创建的pool的名字
pg_num : Placement Group的个数
# ceph osd pool create testpool 512
pool testpool' created
，需要在ceph集群中创建一个Block Device Image。（查看rbd的命令，输入 "man rbd"命令）
命令：rbd create --size {MegaBytes} {pool-name}/{image-name}
例如：在名为“testpool”的pool中创建“bar”的Image，容量是1024MB
# rbd create --size 1024 testpool/bar
查看Block Device Images
# rbd ls testpool
rbd
以及查看一个Block Device Images的详细信息
# rbd info testpool/bar
rbd image 'bar':
size 1024 MB in 256 objects
order 22 (4096 kB objects)
block_name_prefix: rbd_data.5e3b248a65f6
format: 2
features: layering
flags:
Step2 ceph Client使用RBD设备与ceph集群的Block Device image进行映射（Map)
命令： sudo rbd map rbd/myimage --id admin --keyring /path/to/keyring
例如
# sudo rbd map testpool/bar --id admin --keyring /etc/ceph/ceph.client.admin.keyring
dev/rbd0
查看已经映射的Block Device信息
# rbd showmapped
id pool image snap device
0 testpool bar - /dev/rbd0
Step3 ceph Client的User Space挂载(Mount)该RBD设备
首先，使用该block device在client-node上创建一个文件系统。
# sudo mkfs.ext4 -m0 /dev/rbd/testpool/bar

其次，挂载该文件系统
# sudo mkdir /mnt/ceph-block-device
# sudo mount /dev/rbd/testpool/bar /mnt/ceph-block-device
查看mount信息
# mount
...
/dev/rbd0 on /mnt/ceph-block-device type ext4 (rw,relatime,seclabel,stripe=1024,data=ordered)
* Ceph Block Deviced的其他相关操作
To create a new rbd image that is 100 GB:
rbd create mypool/myimage --size 102400
To use a non-default object size (8 MB):
rbd create mypool/myimage --size 102400 --object-size 8M
To delete an rbd image (be careful!):
rbd rm mypool/myimage
To create a new snapshot:
rbd snap create mypool/myimage@mysnap
To create a copy-on-write clone of a protected snapshot:
rbd clone mypool/myimage@mysnap otherpool/cloneimage
To see which clones of a snapshot exist:
rbd children mypool/myimage@mysnap
To delete a snapshot:
rbd snap rm mypool/myimage@mysnap
To map an image via the kernel with cephx enabled:
rbd map mypool/myimage --id admin --keyfile secretfile
To map an image via the kernel with different cluster name other than default ceph.
rbd map mypool/myimage –cluster cluster name
To unmap an image:
rbd unmap /dev/rbd0
To create an image and a clone from it:
1rbd import --image-format 2 image mypool/parent 2rbd snap create mypool/parent@snap 3rbd snap protect mypool/parent@snap 4rbd clone mypool/parent@snap otherpool/child
To create an image with a smaller stripe_unit (to better distribute small writes in some workloads):
rbd create mypool/myimage --size 102400 --stripe-unit 65536B --stripe-count 16
To change an image from one image format to another, export it and then import it as the desired image format:
1rbd export mypool/myimage@snap /tmp/img 2rbd import --image-format 2 /tmp/img mypool/myimage2
To lock an image for exclusive use:
rbd lock add mypool/myimage mylockid
To release a lock:
rbd lock remove mypool/myimage mylockid client.2485
