There's a FAQ entry on the wiki. The gist of it is.... no, ceph is not quite ready for production. It has made huge strides in the last months, but still has some features and testing left to do. Actually, most people could probably deal with it feature wise right now in the right circumstances. It lacks some security features and a few other things but most people could probably work around that. The biggest thing is testing to make sure recovery and data integrity works as expected. The last thing you want is a filesystem that can't hold data. > > How many developers are actually working on this project, and what > timeframe are you looking at to get to production ready state? I think 2 developers are working on it. I don't know about the time frame.
