Seems interesting. Please let me know if I understand ceph properly: RADOS is the block storage. RADOS can be accessed through RGW (a REST Gateway) or throgh librbd In the first case, we will have an object store, in the second case, we will have a block device connected directly to a server (like an iSCSI block device) But in the first case, should I create a filesystem on RBD and then manage that FS with gateway? -- 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
