Hah! Nice way to invoke Cunningham's Law ;) > how does cephfs export storage to client? Ceph exports storage via it's own protocol... the RADOS protocol for object IO and a sort of "CephFS" protocol to overlay filesystem semantics on top of RADOS. Ceph doesn't use NFS or iSCSI itself -- clients "mount" CephFS using the Ceph kernel or FUSE client. It is however possible to re-export a mounted CephFS filesystem using another protocol like NFS or SMB/CIFS. And it is also possible to reexport a Ceph "RADOS Block Device" (RBD) using the iSCSI protocol. In all of these "re-export" cases some non-Ceph software is used to do the exporting.
