ChubaoFS

Overview

ChubaoFS (储宝文件系统) is a distributed file system for cloud native applications. It has the following features:

• scale-out metadata management

• strong replication consistency for both append and random write

• specific storage optimizations for large and small files

• multiple volumes

• POSIX-compatible

For more details, please refer to our SIGMOD 2019 paper "ChubaoFS: A Distributed File System for Large Scale Container Platforms".

Docker

Under the docker directory, a helper tool called run_docker.sh is provided to run ChubaoFS with docker-compose.

To start a minimal ChubaoFS cluster from scratch, note that /data/disk is arbitrary, and make sure there are at least 30G available space.

$ docker/run_docker.sh -r -d /data/disk

If client starts successfully, use mount command in client docker shell to check mount status:

$ mount | grep chubaofs

Open http://127.0.0.1:3000 in browser, login with admin/123456 to view grafana monitor metrics.

Or run server and client seperately by following commands:

$ docker/run_docker.sh -b
$ docker/run_docker.sh -s -d /data/disk
$ docker/run_docker.sh -c
$ docker/run_docker.sh -m

For more usage,

$ docker/run_docker.sh -h
