Can we deprecate FileStore in Quincy?
Hello everyone, Given that BlueStore has been the default and more widely used objectstore since quite some time, we would like to understand whether we can consider deprecating FileStore in our next release, Quincy and remove it in the R release. There is also a proposal [0] to add a health warning to report FileStore OSDs. We discussed this topic in the Ceph Month session today [1] and there were no objections from anybody on the call. I wanted to reach out to the list to check if there are any concerns about this or any users who will be impacted by this decision. Thanks, Neha [0] https://github.com/ceph/ceph/pull/39440 [1] https://pad.ceph.com/p/ceph-month-june-2021

We have several clusters, but no cluster past Luminous with filestore, so that would work out fine for us. -- May the most significant bit of your life be positive.

That means that I need really get going on finishing the bluestore stuff in the FreeBSD port. Getting things in has been slow, real slow, also due to me being bussy with company stuff. So when is the expected "kill filestore" date? --WjW

Currently, the proposal is to remove it in the R release (one release after deprecation), which should be in March 2023. Would that give you enough time to migrate? - Neha

If I can't get it in by then, that would be odd. In concept I already had it working but getting the code in is sometimes hard because the panels are sliding at quite some pace, and I do not always have time to keep up due to work requirements. I'll probably modify/conditionalise the deperication remark for FreeBSD, not to scare the few testing users that are there. --WjW
