Our primary concern about CephFS is about its stability; there are a couple of important known bugs and it has yet to see the string QA that would qualify it for general production use. Storing VM images is one of the use cases it might be okay for, but: Why not use RBD? It sounds like that's what you want, and RBD is purpose-built for managing VM images and volumes! -Greg > > Please let us know.. > > Thanks! > Amit > > Amit Vijairania | 978.319.3684 > --*-- > -- Software Engineer #42 @ http://inktank.com | http://ceph.com
