for whats its worth, I have been using CephFS shared between six servers (all kernel mounted) and no issues. Running three monitors and 2 meta servers (one as backup). This has been running great.

the same volume on multiple machines to share the files, like you would
with NFS. This is why I thought ceph-fuse would be what I needed.
