[Qemu-devel] where can i customize rbd object size?

Hello,

    qemu-img convert -f qcow2 Trove---mysql-5.6---2015-07-16.qcow2 -O raw
rbd:openstack-00/8205d01a-874c-44c0-b114-1c03821fcc24:conf=/etc/ceph/ceph.conf

   How can i specify the object size that rbd uses?  I found that the
qemu-image can only use the default object size. It is defined in
block/rbd.c

    #define OBJ_MAX_SIZE
<https://lxr.missinglinkelectronics.com/qemu+v2.1.0/+code=OBJ_MAX_SIZE>
(1UL << OBJ_DEFAULT_OBJ_ORDER
<https://lxr.missinglinkelectronics.com/qemu+v2.1.0/+code=OBJ_DEFAULT_OBJ_ORDER>
)

    If someone know how to specify the object size, please tell me. thanks
a lot.
    By the way i do not find the define for  OBJ_DEFAULT_OBJ_ORDER
<https://lxr.missinglinkelectronics.com/qemu+v2.1.0/+code=OBJ_DEFAULT_OBJ_ORDER>,
if someone knows , please tell me. Thanks a lot.

I have CCed the rbd.c maintainer for you:
$ scripts/get_maintainer.pl -f block/rbd.c

Those are remnants from before librbd existed, they aren't used in qemu
anymore.

Thanks for CCing me, I missed it before.

You can specify the rbd object size in bytes via the cluster_size
option, e.g.

qemu-img convert -f qcow2 Trove---mysql-5.6---2015-07-16.qcow2 -O raw -o 
cluster_size=8388608 
rbd:openstack-00/8205d01a-874c-44c0-b114-1c03821fcc24:conf=/etc/ceph/ceph.conf

The code handling this is here:
