Do you mean cephfs filesystem, or rbd block device?

I have ported librbd to windows in a very "alpha" sense - it compiles and I can 
do things like 'rbd ls' and 'rbd import', but haven't tested it much further 
than that.

I was hoping something like blktap already existed for Windows so I could write 
a windows application to expose a block device from userspace, but I can't find 
anything, or at least can't find anything open source. I started writing a 
driver but haven't had time to do much with it yet.
 
If you wanted to use cephfs then you could probably build on the porting work 
I've done. I'm not sure what cephfs uses but I assume it sits on top of 
librados so that work is already done (assuming there is a fuse-like driver for 
windows - otherwise you'd have to port it all to windows kernel which is more 
work, as the windows kernel doesn't support C++)
