Thanks for that! I've talked to a lot of large-ish commercial Ceph customers and they seem to spend a lot of time building kludge-arounds for support. And tend to live terrified that the whole clumsy edifice will come crashing down at the cost of their jobs. Also too, Ceph is block, object and file. Block is ok up to a point, object is dubious and file is utterly untrustworthy. At least at any kind of real scale - 3 servers in a rack aren't "scale". Why must someone who isn't a Ceph fan (and I fail to see why storage systems are a "fan" activity) live in the evil pockets of EMC? I know people who've smoked for years and don't have any sign of lung cancer either.
