Thanks John.
I am planning to use it in production as a filesystem. We have close to 350TB of data and I don't want it to be in jeopardy. When looking at the documentation, I see in bold stating the filesystem should be used for production data so I was concerned.
I suppose I will wait a bit longer until that message is taken out. Our team lead would be very unhappy if I deployed this into production.

Ceph is more than just a file system. The storage cluster provides a native API for object storage, which is the core of Ceph. Most production systems use the Ceph Block Device (as a backend for OpenStack, CloudStack, and other cloud platforms) or Ceph Object Storage (S3 and Swift APIs). There are people using the filesystem for production data, and there have been many improvements. I would suggest referring to the release notes for the latest changes.On Thu, Dec 26, 2013 at 5:14 AM, Keith Brown <keith6014@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:
_______________________________________________Hello,We are thinking of deploying a distributed filesystem for our lab. At the moment we are using Dell storage for a 20 node computational cluster. We are having many bottlenecks in storage i/o.We are interesting in Lustre, XtremeFS, and Ceph. It seems Ceph isn't ready for production according to the documentation.My questions are: Are people using Ceph filesystem (POSIX) in a production environment? If so, how large is your environment? Any thoughts of when Ceph will be production ready?
