For the ceph-cluster or the "iSCSI-GW"? We use Ubuntu 12.04 LTS for the
cluster and the iSCSI-GW, but tested Debian wheezy as iSCSI-GW too. Both
work flawless.

Have you read http://ceph.com/dev-notes/adding-support-for-rbd-to-stgt/
? That's what we do and it works without problems so far.

That's a question we asked aourselves too. In theory one can set up 2
iSCSI-GW and use multipath but what does that do to the cluster? Will
smth. break if 2 iSCSI targets use the same rbd image in the cluster?
Even if I use failover-mode only?

Has someone already tried this and is willing to share their knowledge?

Best regards,
Kurt
