Ken, Ira, John - Thanks a lot for the replies. Our initial setup is simply running samba atop a cephfs kernel mount, and initial cursory checks seem to show the basics are working as expected (even clustered with ctdb - what are your concerns here Ira?). Though we've yet to try any of our planned test scenarios/datasets. >From the conversation here I'm thinking we'd be better off using Xenial for our CephFS+Samba test nodes at the moment... though I only see packages for Precise and Trusty on gitbuilder.ceph.com at the moment. We were planning to compare samba on kernel mount versus ceph vfs. Can someone clarify what state the cephfs kernel client in RHEL 7.x will be in when RHCS 2.0 is released, i.e., will that be back-ported or are RHEL users expected to use FUSE? (I'm happy to go ask support directly but I suspect this is useful information for others too).
