 AN!Wiki :: How To :: Sheepdog on EL6

Warning: This is essentially just a compilation of notes I made while playing with NTT's Sheepdog. It may or may not become a complete tutorial someday.

Installing, configuring and using Sheepdog in EL6.

Install

Done as root (ya, I know...) on CentOS 6.0;

Install dependencies;

yum -y install corosynclib-devel subversion nss-devel zlib-devel

Corosync from source;

cd ~
yum -y remove corosync
svn co http://svn.fedorahosted.org/svn/corosync/branches/flatiron
cd flatiron
./autogen.sh
./configure
make install
cd ~

QEMU (needs >= v0.13);

cd ~
yum -y remove libvirt
git clone git://git.sv.gnu.org/qemu.git
cd qemu
./configure
make install
cd ~

Sheepdog (we don't build the RPMs for missing dependencies reasons);

cd ~
git clone git://github.com/collie/sheepdog.git
cd sheepdog
./autogen.sh
./configure
make install
cd ~

Using Sheepdog

You need a "store" directory. I use /sheepdog formatted on /dev/sda5 as an ext4 partition.

mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda5
mkdir /sheepdog
tune2fs -l /dev/sda5 | grep "Filesystem UUID" | sed -e "s/^Filesystem UUID:\s*\(.*\)/UUID=\L\1\E\t\/sheepdog\text4\tdefaults,user_xattr\t1 3/" >> /etc/fstab
mount /sheepdog
mount
/dev/sda2 on / type ext3 (rw)
proc on /proc type proc (rw)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620)
tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)
/dev/sda1 on /boot type ext3 (rw)
none on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type binfmt_misc (rw)
sunrpc on /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs type rpc_pipefs (rw)
/dev/sda5 on /sheepdog type ext4 (rw,user_xattr)

Note the (rw,user_xattr), this is important.

Now create the store.
