Sure. We're using it almost exclusively for serving VM images that are accessed from Qemu's built-in RBD client. The VMs themselves perform a very wide range of I/O types, from servers that write mainly log files to ZEO database servers with nearly completely random I/O. Many VMs have slowly increasing storage utilization. A reason could be that the OSDs issue syncfs() calls and ext4 cuts FS extents from just what has been written so far. But I'm not sure about the exact pattern of OSD/filesystem interaction. HTH Christian -- Dipl.-Inf.
