I'm not sure I understand, but if you're trying to take a bunch of compute nodes and glue their disks together, no, that's not a supported use case at this time. There are a number of deadlock issues caused by this sort of loopback; it's the same reason you shouldn't mount NFS on the server host. We may in the future manage to release an rbd-fuse client that you can use to do this with a little less pain, but it's not ready at this point. -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
