Today, yes, don’t use CephFS for virtual machines. We did try running CephFS for virtualization and it was, not fun. The setup for pNFS with Ceph wasn’t CephFS on the backend but an unholy union of iSCSI/CLVM/RBD it was only for testing. RBD is excellent for kvm/libvirt deployments, especially with Cloudstack integration. > > Wido > >> I’ve personally used pNFS with https://github.com/nfs-ganesha/ >> <https://github.com/nfs-ganesha/> as the NFS server and Ceph as the >> backend, but that felt kind of dirty and will be less useful for >> most when CephFS goes primetime. >> >> >>> On Jan 14, 2015, at 9:38 PM, John Kinsella <j...@stratosec.co> >>> wrote: >>> >>> Somebody in the silicon valley meetup just asked about pNFS [1] - >>> I’d never heard of it, but sounds interesting and in theory would >>> negate a lot of the ugliness of NFS. >>> >>> Curious if anybody else is familiar with it, or if there’s a >>> general interest in having support in ACS? >>> >>> John 1: http://www.pnfs.com/ >> >> > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- > Version: GnuPG v1 > > iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJUuA4OAAoJEAGbWC3bPspCIqUP/R/FX3miAsIQUysnsWzSY71Y > 1WU+SVk8Xpqh0zbcYVmevuIztn9co2n3LgJotdln1hVXe2FhvSoYO9yZfrIxCRJ3 > D0F4+zn/8Kc7uPzJIe7qxrc5+Eh+DpBOM4rZYRAFHM7MUk8WnnZENiuyg9EBkxdV > HAPUcSeqPqzzVpP8wdvbZNLoBQkuxJVwVIUqJxSAUfhFSiDKRdNbcB1uwu8Zo+IJ > m7i533kMqOVH97rOiErFLFpJaQdwuhU5cVYAnQ6/4BYW96H+Mt/X5dwJCHuZVMxH > MqBpubVcEYfk7wBrcHbiVvXkmXnCN6ff01GrkwTeH3N+amXUdXX9KU9JwkuaJ6qt > DBkPjEsn3sAkt96S1b0OFSi9W3F/Oeb93XmXXIkOMsXUI39PJBbIUOiRQo16B3hJ > aWo2LjcQD2sSH7wMzo1Jf9AJKAFQCCFIGLUUx2KzTo1XNM6vWuzHC3Pp6lpV39uw > +DCRORuTPhQ/7Cu19Gk9YhHVTnc8KKjBqfGVUCQi2fR+UikgB20NAAe2JAVqYxyY > sePu4uv2PXJ4TF+XfaeRAouVahnbke8kwQ7VN9e+mipwOzLEC2iT3nmQJtdMhEju > 062t5oZYJUjgqfIYnWB3RkWhVul6LG5l2N7vF/BYmuDwgYicE4BxECB6E4vxV7rw > DQquKEwhvmFOy9BtVCyw > =GVFx > -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
