For those interested in testing the newest versions of ceph(fs). it has received some updates. Last Night I installed it with 4 new flags a repo: [1] "xmw" /var/lib/layman/xmw.
There is talk of version 0.93 (dev version) making it's way into an ebuild very soon. From the chatter of various locations, ceph is reasonable stable and starting to attract crowds of interest, for those folks interested in a Distributed File System. For me, the DFS has been the most challenging area of putting together a gentoo cluster, that support multiple frameworks simultaneously both fine grain and coarse grains types of problems. layman -s xmw sys-cluster/ceph/ceph-0.87.1.ebuild (a major release) sys-cluster/ceph/ceph-0.93.ebuild http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Ceph enjoy!
