That's sort of the crux — it's easier to upgrade userspace tooling, and even if you don't mind installing a new kernel and rebooting on every release, ceph-fuse tends to get new feature support much earlier. For instance, it supports a primitive sort of (client-enforced) quota that the kernel client still doesn't. It's also easier to debug in general. -Greg _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list ceph-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.ceph.com/listinfo.cgi/ceph-users-ceph.com
