Select type of storage in multitype drivers #721
Comments
that's a great question. For instance, I'm changing NFS to type BLOCK because it will also support |
But yes, only one mode is set per driver at the moment. If we ever see the need to add something different, we can then discuss that use case. |
@lpabon Also, as an off-topic (sorry), I tried to use OpenStorage together with CSI and Kubernetes, but I think that there is no enough information for someone that does not know anything about Kubernetes. At least and environment setup would be great. Thank you for the answer. |
Is this a BUG REPORT or FEATURE REQUEST?:
Just a QUESTION, but could be a FEATURE REQUEST depending on the developers being conscientious or not of this comportment.
What happens:
Each one of the main drivers available has the constant Type declared, which specifies the type of storage the driver is going to serve. For instance, in the AWS driver the Type is
api.DriverType_DRIVER_TYPE_BLOCK
and, in the NFS one, it isapi.DriverType_DRIVER_TYPE_FILE
. This is fine is both cases, because EBS is focused on Block Storage and NFS in File Storage.However, there are some drivers that have a type declared while the server offers more alternatives. For example, CEPH or Portworx should accept block, file and object storage, but their drivers (CoprHD and PWX) have the Type
api.DriverType_DRIVER_TYPE_BLOCK
declared. Does this mean that only that mode is compatible? If yes, would it be possible to use the other storage types modifying the driver file? Should not be there different alternatives?The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
