Hi,
As per the folowing documents, i seems that there are production
implementations using oVirt / CephFS mounted as local posix storage.

Any feedback or experience on pros/cons noticed in time ?


There's a plan in my infrastructure to use existing cephfs for oVirt and I
would like to make an ideea about some users experience.
Thank you very much !
Leo
