It will take as much space +in the cluster as a 2-replica pool but can sustain the data loss of 2 +chunks out of 4. It is described as a profile with **k=2** and **m=2**, +meaning the information is spread over four OSD (k+m == 4) and two of +them can be lost. + +To improve redundancy without increasing raw storage requirements, a +new profile can be created. For instance, a profile with **k=10** and +**m=4** can sustain the loss of four (**m=4**) OSDs by distributing an +object on fourteen (k+m=14) OSDs. The object is first divided in +**10** chunks (if the object is 10MB, each chunk is 1MB) and **4** +coding chunks are computed, for recovery (each coding chunk has the +same size as the data chunk, i.e. 1MB). The raw space overhead is only +40% and the object will not be lost even if four OSDs break at the +same time. + +.. _list of available plugins: + +.. toctree:: + :maxdepth: 1 + + erasure-code-jerasure + erasure-code-isa + erasure-code-lrc + erasure-code-shec + erasure-code-clay + +osd erasure-code-profile set +============================ + +To create a new erasure code profile:: + + ceph osd erasure-code-profile set {name} \ + [{directory=directory}] \ + [{plugin=plugin}] \ + [{stripe_unit=stripe_unit}] \ + [{key=value} ...] \ + [--force] + +Where: + +``{directory=directory}`` + +:Description: Set the **directory** name from which the erasure code + plugin is loaded. + +:Type: String +:Required: No. +:Default: /usr/lib/ceph/erasure-code + +``{plugin=plugin}`` + +:Description: Use the erasure code **plugin** to compute coding chunks + and recover missing chunks.
