That's exactly what they want. It's got all the checksummed replication features that makes zfs awesome and it's pretty rock solid. It's even pretty resilient to dumb mistakes from the admin (ahem). Unfortunately ceph is primarily developed for folks running massive petabyte scale clusters, so setting up a home lab micro-cluster is still a fair bit more difficult than it needs to be, even with the new cephadm stuff. To wit, figuring out what the best practices for setting things up to run a small scale cluster is often guesswork and the pitfalls aren't always obvious.
- patrakov 6y agoI work (well, until January) for a company that specializes in Ceph support. And it is depressing to see how many customers have crashing OSDs or MDSs, or unexplainabe memory overuse problems. It looks much worse than btrfs. I don't want this at home. But, to be fair, for every distributed storage system (even as simple as DRBD), there is be a person who had extremely negative experience with it.
