also, you probably want to reclaim unused space when you delete files.

 I'll take a stab at this.

 I don't think it will be a feature that you will find in Ceph due to
 the fact that Ceph doesn't really understand what is going on inside
 the RBD. There are too many technologies that can use RBD that it is
 not feasible to try and support something like this.

 You can however have a service that runs in your VM which monitors
 free space. Then the free space gets too low, it can call to a service
 you write which will then expand the RBD on the fly and then the VM
 itself and resize the partitions and the file system after the RBD is
 expanded.

 I'm not sure how CephFS fits into all of this as it is different than
 RBD. CephFS is to NFS as RBD is to SAN block storage.

 If I misunderstood the question, please clarify.
