Can you explain more? Because I found here : http://docs.openstack.org/trunk/openstack-compute/admin/content/configuring-live-migrations.html It says: "Shared storage: NOVA-INST-DIR/instances/ (eg /var/lib/nova/instances) has to be mounted by shared storage." And from here: http://www.mail-archive.com/ceph-users@lists.ceph.com/msg00241.html Looks OpenStack still not support live-migrate when instance is boot from volume.
I want to integrate Ceph with nova compute, but I can't always boot instance from volume due to some other reason. Also, I want to know if your guys believe, actually, ceph user should not use Ceph FS at anywhere ?

You can do Live Migration with RBD without doing block live migration. RBD images also live on any ceph (libvirt / kvm) - client, without the need to move physical data. Think of it as an iSCSI volume. RBD is the way to go, you don't want or need cephFS here at all, unless you want to store qemu-img files in cephfs, which is a bad idea to start with. The only thing I don't know if openstack supports base images on ceph, I know openstack volumes work flawlessly with RBD, I have one installation right here that works very well.
