It also looks like it's based on v0.27 or thereabouts, which is pretty old now. There seems to be a mix of pretty simple/straighforward things that are easily merged upstream, and some larger API additions that I have some questions about. Are you guys actively working on this? Can we work together to get these libceph API changes merged into the mainline? I would love to see this run against the packaged libceph (and get the ceph FSAL upstream into ganesha).
