And while I dislike the fact that ZFS is not (and probably never will be) part of the official Linux kernel tree, this is as good as it gets. As I see it the alternatives are: 1) wait for BTRFS to fully mature (good luck with that) 2) use something tried and trusted (I use ext4) and hope that the Ceph developers add the missing parts. 3) wait for full ZFS support in Ceph. I'm going with 2 for now and am kinda hoping/waiting for 3. But as I wrote, even with ZFS as backing storage there would be some things like deduplication that need to be handled in Ceph, not the layer below.
