We built on a PPC machine a while back and used that to verify that the big/little endian stuff was working. We don't have any big endian machines in our lab to let us verify this on an ongoing basis, however. I'm not sure what the best options are to do that... qemu? We'd love to see what endian issues you did hit, by the way, to make sure they make into the tree! sage > > On 07/27/2013 07:07 AM, Noah Watkins wrote: > > http://wiki.ceph.com/01Planning/02Blueprints/Emperor/Increasing_Ceph_portability > > > > Recently I've managed to get Ceph built and running on OSX.
