RBD PVC Example

Describe the issue:

  We're seeing more cases in support with damaged/unrecoverable CephFS/MDS issues that usually correlate with a database application (not necessarily PostgreSQL) being hosted on a CephFS PV. Additionally, CephFS has difficulties with workloads with very high file counts (millions of small objects), even sometimes with the fsGroupChangePolicy: "OnRootMismatch" applied. 


Describe the task you were trying to accomplish:

  Would like to change the wording in the product documentation.

Suggestions for improvement:

Existing wording:

NOTE: Running PostgresSQL workload on CephFS persistent volume is not supported and it is recommended to use RADOS Block Device (RBD) volume.


Recommended Change:

NOTE:  Running any database workloads on a CephFS persistent volume is not supported (e.g. RDBMSs, NoSQL, PostgreSQL, Mongo, RocksDB, etc.) and it is recommended to use RADOS Block Device (RBD), storageclass ocs-storagecluster-ceph-rbd volumes instead (NOTE: ceph-rbd supports both block and filesystem mode). Additionally, it's strongly encouraged for applications workloads that yield high file counts (millions of small objects) to utilize ceph-rbd as well.

Good Afternoon,

  Second thought, I think it would be a good idea if we simply have this KCS[1] linked in the section of the documentation I created this doc BZ for[2].
