Hi Brad,
that post was mine. I knew it quite well.
That Post was about confirm the fact that minimum requirements
written in the documentation really didn't exists.
However I never asked if there is somewhere a place where is
possible to download the DEV or the RC of Centos7.5.
I was thinking about to join the community of tester and
developers that are already testing Ceph on that "not ready"
environment.
In that POST these questions were not really made, so no answer
where given.
I see that you talked also about other distribution. Well, I read
around that Suse already implement iSCSI.
However as far as I know (which is not so much), this distribution
use modified kernel in order to let this work.
And in order to use it it's needed a dashboard that can handle
these kind of differences (OpenAttic).
I knew already OpenAttic is contributing in developing the next
generation of the Ceph Dashboard (and this sound damn good!).
However this also means to me that the official dashboard
should not be talking about ISCSI at all (as every implementation
of iSCSI are running on mod version).
So these are the things I cannot figure out:
Why is the iSCSI board on the CEPH official dashboard? (I could
understand on OpenAttic which run on SUSE but not on the official
one).
And why, in the official documentation, the minimu requirements to
let iSCSI work, is to install CentOS7.5? Which doesn't exist? Is
there a RC candidate which I can start to use?
And... if SUSE or even other distribution works already with
iSCSI... why the documentation just doesn't reccomend these ones
instead of RHEL or CENTOS?
There is something confused about what the documentation minimal
requirements, the dashboard suggest to be able to do, and what i
read around about modded Ceph for other linux distributions.
I create a new post to clarify all these points.
Thanks for your answer! :)

See the thread in this very ML titled "Ceph iSCSI is a
prank?", last update thirteen days ago.
If your questions are not answered by that thread let us know.
Please also remember that CentOS is not the only platform that
ceph runs on by a long shot and that not all distros lag as much
as it (not a criticism, just a fact. The reasons for lagging are
valid and well documented and should be accepted by those who
choose to use them). if you want the bleeding edge then
rhel/centos should not be your platform of choice.
