## Overview
|
||
|
||
The RBD CSI plugin will provision new RBD images and attach and mount those
|
||
to workloads. Currently, the default mounter is krbd, which uses the kernel
|
||
rbd driver to mount the rbd images onto the application node. Here on
|
||
at ceph-csi we will also have a userspace way of mounting the RBD images,
|
||
via RBD-NBD.
|
||
|
||
[Rbd-nbd](https://docs.ceph.com/en/latest/man/8/rbd-nbd/) is a client for
|
||
RADOS block device (rbd) images like the existing rbd kernel module. It
|
||
will map an rbd image to an NBD (Network Block Device) device, allowing
|
||
access to it as a regular local block device.
|
||
|
||
It’s worth to make a note that the rbd-nbd processes will run on the
|
||
client-side, which is inside the `csi-rbdplugin` node plugin.
|
||
|
||
## Configuration
|
||
|
||
To use the rbd-nbd mounter for RBD-backed PVs, set `mounter` to `rbd-nbd`
|
||
in the StorageClass.
|
||
|
||
### Configuring logging path
|
||
|
||
If you are using the default rbd nodeplugin daemonset and StorageClass
|
||
templates then `cephLogDir` will be `/var/log/ceph`, this directory will be
|
||
a host-path and the default log file path will be
|
||
`/var/log/ceph/rbd-nbd-<volID>.log`. rbd-nbd creates a log file per volume
|
||
under the `cephLogDir` path on NodeStage(map) and removed the same on
|
||
the respective NodeUnstage(unmap).
|
||
|
||
In case if you need a customized log path, you should do below:
|
||
|
||
- Edit the daemonset templates to change the `cephLogDir`
|
||
- If you are using helm charts, then you can use key `cephLogDir`
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
helm install --set cephLogDir=/var/log/ceph-csi/my-dir
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
- For standard templates edit [csi-rbdplugin.yaml](../deploy/rbd/kubernetes/csi-rbdplugin.yaml)
|
||
to update `hostPath` for `ceph-logdir`, also edit psp [csi-nodeplugin-psp.yaml](../deploy/rbd/kubernetes/csi-nodeplugin-psp.yaml)
|
||
to update `pathPrefix` spec entries.
|
||
- Update the StorageClass with the customized log directory path
|
||
- Now update rbd StorageClass for `cephLogDir`, for example
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
cephLogDir: "/var/log/prod-A-logs"
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
`NOTE`:
|
||
|
||
- On uninstall make sure to delete `cephLogDir` on host manually to freeup
|
||
some space just in case if there are any uncleaned log files.
|
||
- In case if you do not need the rbd-nbd logging to persistent, then just
|
||
update the StorageClass for `cephLogDir` to use a non-persistent path.

||

## Status
|
||
|
||
Rbd-nbd support status: **Alpha**
|
||
|
||
## Support Matrix
|
||
|
||
| Features | Feature Status | CSI Driver Version | Ceph Cluster Version | CSI Spec Version | Kubernetes Version |
|
||
| ---------------------------------------- | -------------- | ------------------ | -------------------- | ---------------- | ------------------ |
|
||
| Creating and deleting snapshot | Alpha | >= v3.4.0 | Pacific (>=16.0.0) | >= v1.0.0 | >= v1.17.0 |
|
||
| Creating and deleting clones | Alpha | >= v3.4.0 | Pacific (>=16.0.0) | >= v1.0.0 | >= v1.17.0 |
|
||
| Creating and deleting encrypted volumes | Alpha | >= v3.4.0 | Pacific (>=16.0.0) | >= v1.0.0 | >= v1.14.0 |
|
||
| Expand volumes | Alpha | >= v3.4.0 | Pacific (>=16.0.0) | >= v1.1.0 | >= v1.15.0 |
|
||
|
||
`NOTE`: The `Alpha` status reflects possible non-backward compatible
|
||
changes in the future, and is thus not recommended for production use.
