Forgive me if this question is stupid.
Can you explain more why you would say " either the Ceph object gateway or Ceph 
RBD makes more sense than CephFS currently." ?

Because CephFS is production ready?

Thanks.

..to be more precise, I should have said: object storage has been the preferred 
mechanism of late in Openstack, but RBD makes more sense due to the 
copy-on-write facility. Either way, either the Ceph object gateway or Ceph RBD 
makes more sense than CephFS currently.
