Hi Brian, There are three reasons for using libceph API: 1. My application could use non-posix API, like libceph and librbd, very conveniently and flexible. 2. If using the kernel client, performance will reduce because of the VFS layer. I have done some test for a comparison two weeks ago. 3. If error or exception appear int the kernel client, the whole machine may be not able to work. Thx!
