We did some work on Sparc machine, fixed some little endian/big endian
as well as non-align access issues. We are using CentOS 6 recompiled
version. We have managed to compile Ceph, however, it still could not
work properly due to some aotmic function bug from some libs. We did not
track it further recently.
Any experiences on running Ceph on big endian machine to share?

Recently I've managed to get Ceph built and running on OSX. There was
a past effort to get Ceph working on non-Linux platforms, most notably
FreeBSD, but that approach introduced a lot of ad-hoc macros that has
made it difficult to manage changes needed to support additional
platforms.
This session would address the areas within Ceph that are currently
non-portable, discuss the state of OSX support, and touch on what is
needed to factor out platform specific functionality. Changes are
roughly grouped into (1) internal critical (e.g. locking) (2) internal
non-critical (some optimizations), and (2) exported headers. A
significant amount of the OSX changes have been introduced as feature
tests with generic alternatives, and as such the tree may already be
near building on additional platforms, so it would be great to find
people that would be willing to test on additional platforms.
If you are interested please add yourself as an interested party or
owner of this blueprint :)
