I do host the openstack database and the openstack configuration files on it for an HA cloud controller cluster, but I am probably crazier than most people, and I have a very small deployment. I currently have not had any problems with it, but due to the size of my cloud, I can afford to be very hands-on with it. <br><br>The reason I have not hosted the /var/lib/instances directory is due to the fact that the data gets a lot more activity than my small database does. Instead, I prefer to perform block migrations rather than live ones until cephfs becomes more stable. <br><br><div><span name="x"></span>Dave Spano<br>Optogenics<br>Systems Administrator<br><br><span name="x"></span><br></div><hr id="zwchr"><div style="color:#000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;"><b>From: </b>"Sébastien Han" <han.sebastien@gmail.com><br><b>To: </b>"JuanFra Rodríguez Cardoso" <juanfra.rodriguez.cardoso@gmail.com><br><b>Cc: </b>"Openstack" <openstack@lists.launchpad.net>, "ceph-devel" <ceph-devel@vger.kernel.org><br><b>Sent: </b>Wednesday, November 21, 2012 4:03:48 AM<br><b>Subject: </b>Re: [Openstack] Ceph + Nova<br><br>Hi,<br><br>I don't think it's the best place to ask your question since it's not<br>directly related to OpenStack but more about Ceph. I just put in c/c<br>the ceph ML. Anyway, CephFS is not ready yet for production but I<br>heard that some people use it. People from Inktank (the company behind<br>Ceph) don't recommend it, AFAIR they expect something more production<br>ready for Q2 2013.
