I haven't even looked at Stein yet so I could be wrong,  but I thin this is
referring to replication like RBD mirroring. There's still an issue in
Ceph, as far as I know, where ceph's object replication would have a
problem with multi-attach. I haven't come across any Ceph release note to
say this has been addressed.

Hopefully someone from the Cinder team can straighten us out.
