Hi I have been following your project for a long time and it looks like Ceph is getting closer to release 1.0. Are you planning on calling version 1.0 "production ready"? We have been holding off on testing Ceph in depth, but it looks like we should start now that a stable production ready release is in sight. For this I have a few questions that I am hoping the community can answer before we start testing. Once I have a Ceph distributed file system up and running, what is the procedure to scale / increase total storage capacity? Any downtime necessary for this? Do I need to move any data around or "rebalance" data when I add new storage nodes? (This is a huge problem with eg. Glusterfs) What are the expected and common maintenance tasks that are Ceph specific? We are really keen on using Ceph in our production environment and really looking forward to release 1.0. Great job guys!
