Hi Sage, FWIW, we will be testing Ceph with 6 or more OSDs a 2~3 MDSs in the next 2 months (and beyond). The basic idea is to evaluate Ceph as a candidate for future use in a mixed workload university environment with several dozens of linux machines (physical and virtual) and multiple Samba "gateways" for about 250 Windows workstations. I'd also like to point out that besides the robustness and performance advantages that Ceph should have over an NFSv4 or AFS setup, we are especially interested in Kerberos support and ACL support (maybe NFSv4 equivalent ACLs?), and will be glad to test any features/improvements in those areas (an maybe even hack a bit on it, if time permits). So congratulations for the great work so far, and thanks for sharing it with all of us.
