We haven't done much work on it in the last 6-8 months, as we've been focusing on RADOS itself. > If so, could please elaborate on these points? :) There are a couple of known bugs in the filesystem that haven't been tracked down yet, and the QA that we do on it is still very limited. We run a lot of tests on it with working systems, but we (Inktank) haven't done aged filesystem tests, or done good testing under failure scenarios, etc. And multi-mds systems are entirely unreliable. Now, I believe there are people running long-term systems that have done so successfully — it depends on what features you make use of, etc. > How far are we from a stable release? We really don't know enough about what work still remains to be able to answer that question. :/ -Greg -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe ceph-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
