I used to use the cephfs until I got the issues with the kernel mount version and fuse was just to slow. So now I am having a nfs-ganesha mount. Occasionally I have (had) issues connection issues virsh/virt-manager, which are related to guest having iso images linked media. It looks like this got a lot less when I started removing the iso medias from vm's. When I do have this lockup, I could fix it by doing a 'umount -l /mnt/vps-isos'. I don't think this was specific to libvirt as a ls -l /mnt/vps-isos would 'hang' also.
