It would be interesting to a site where a Ceph admin can download an API key/package that could be optionally installed and report configuration information to a community API. The admin could then supplement/correct that base information. Having much of the data collection be automated lowers the barrier for contribution. Bonus points if this could be extended to SMART and failed drives so we could have a community generated report similar to Google's disk population study they presented at FAST'07. -- Kyle _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list ceph-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.ceph.com/listinfo.cgi/ceph-users-ceph.com
