CephFS support

1st Official Post

    Would it be possible to add support for CephFS in the same way as NFS and CIFS?

    Our data is on CephFS and atm. we need to handle redundancy of playback data via NFS on a KeepaliveD virtual IP.
    However, usually the devices seem to have problems switching seamlessly active NFS server when the virtual IP changes (via KeepaliveD)
    Native CephFS support would solve this.

    Cheers,

    I think it's not very likely. I reckon you are probably the single 1 person using CephFS and LibreELEC at the moment (maybe with an error margin, 3 persons). LibreELEC is targeted as a home theatre application, and I haven't heard of (m)any people using CephFS at their homes.

    Also, the team needs extra time and effort to implement, test and support a file system that is not availabe to them in their natural habitat. Supporting a file system used so rarely will take up a disproportional amount of effort, which basically means your request is not likely to get any priority, if at all. I suggest you find a different solution to your problem.
