Can we combine the ceph_connect() and ceph_mount() into one thing? Does that make sense? If so, maybe it should be ceph_mount_t and not ceph_cluster_t or something. The (re/ab)use of DIR* was possibly not the wisest choice in the original API (and Client.h for that matter?). Now might be the time to use a more reasonably named typedef. A few of the methods can probably go away (things like ceph_mkdirs) or be cleaned up (the layout get/set stuff). Otherwise looks good!
