Ceph will allow anything; it's just providing a block device. How it performs will depend quite a lot on the database workload you're applying, though. We've heard from people who think it's wonderful and others who don't, depending on what hardware they're using and what their use case is. You'll need to test it, although if you can describe your workload in more detail somebody with a similar one is more likely to appear. :) -Greg Software Engineer #42 @ http://inktank.com | http://ceph.com
