Hi list, I'm looking into ceph, and I must say I'm really delightful to see a decent integrated object/file storage system being developed as an open source project. I'm a C (+ sometimes python developer) and currently looking for a nice project to maybe invest some of my evening hours in. Did some kernel hacking in the past (nothing upstream though, was mostly specific for the employer's environment), worked at a 3000+ nodes website company (most of them being photo/video storage nodes and most others being db nodes), and I remember looking at your project some years back. Happy to see it actually evolved quite nicely. My compliments to the devs! Like I said I'm toying away with ceph since an hour or two, and one of the things I noticed was that setting up my test env and getting to know ceph wasn't all that easy to do (gentoo btw). Things like ceph -h not showing the setcrushmap option, the 'ceph osd crush set' only returning '(22) Invalid argument' etc etc... So, I decided to take a real good look at the sources - any dev's number one source for documentation :-) There I... well.. kind of got lost. Cpp files, devops tools (python tools, shell scripts, perl scripts), fooclass, barclass ofcourse, valgrind supps, ... all in ~/src :-) So I was curious if I was the only one finding this a bit confusing. If not, I was wondering if you have some clean-up subproject running somewhere. Might be a nice way for me to really familiarize myself with the code base.
