I don't quite understand. Are you looking to use the CephFS distributed filesystem? If so, you should mount clients wherever you plan to use them.

In either case, you've already set up all the servers you need for storing everything. -Greg _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list ceph-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.ceph.com/listinfo.cgi/ceph-users-ceph.com
