I really think that doing async on big production environments is a no go. But it could very well explain the issues. Last week I used to test Ganesha and so far the results look promising. Jan Hugo. On 09/07/2016 06:31 PM, David wrote: > I have clients accessing CephFS over nfs (kernel nfs). I

Based on the advice of some people on this list I have started testing Ganesha-NFS in combination with Ceph. First results are very good and the product looks promising. When I want to use this I need to create a setup where different systems can mount different parts of the tree. How do I configur

I have clients accessing CephFS over nfs (kernel nfs). I was seeing slow writes with sync exports. I haven't had a chance to investigate and in the meantime I'm exporting with async (not recommended, but acceptable in my environment). I've been meaning to test out Ganesha for a while now @Sean, h

Hi, One of the use-cases I'm currently testing is the possibility to replace a NFS storage cluster using a Ceph cluster. The idea I have is to use a server as an intermediate gateway. On the client side it will expose a NFS share and on the Ceph side it will mount the CephFS using mount.ceph. The
