In order to improve the operation and maintenance convenience of Curve, we designed and developed the CurveAdm project, which is mainly used for deploying and managing Curve clusters. Currently, it supports the deployment of CurveBS & CurveFS (scaleout, upgrade and other functions are under development), please refer to the CurveAdm User Manual for related documentation, and install the CurveAdm tool according to the manual before deploying the Curve cluster.

Please refer to the CurveBS cluster deployment steps in the CurveAdm user manual. For standalone experience, please use the "Cluster Topology File - Standalone Deployment" template.

The command tools' instructions

Fio Curve engine is added, you can clone https://github.com/opencurve/fio and compile the fio tool with our engine(depend on nebd lib), fio command line example:

$ ./fio --thread --rw=randwrite --bs=4k --ioengine=nebd --nebd=cbd:pool//pfstest_test_ --iodepth=10 --runtime=120 --numjobs=10 --time_based --group_reporting --name=curve-fio-test

If you have any questions during performance testing, please check the Curve block storage performance tuning guide.

Please use CurveAdm tool to deploy CurveFS，see CurveFS Deployment Process, and the CurveFS Command Instructions.

Please refer to the Test environment configuration

• CURVE release cycle：Half a year for major version, 1~2 months for minor version

• Versioning format: We use a sequence of three digits and a suffix (x.y.z{-suffix}), x is the major version, y is the minor version, and z is for bugfix. The suffix is for distinguishing beta (-beta), RC (-rc) and GA version (without any suffix). Major version x will increase 1 every half year, and y will increase every 1~2 months. After a version is released, number z will increase if there's any bugfix.

All the developments will be done under master branch. If there's any new version to establish, a new branch release-x.y will be pulled from the master, and the new version will be released from this branch.

This project exists thanks to all the people who contribute.
