Linus merged the Ceph for 2.6.34 this morning, which means the next kernel release will be able to mount a Ceph file system without any additional patches or modifications.
This is a pretty big milestone for us, and we’re excited! The next few weeks will be spent hammering out client bugs and polishing the v0.20 release.
Congrats!
I have no idea what Ceph is, but I’ll be looking into this.
Great to hear! I’m trying to find some time to get ceph properly packaged on Gentoo linux … will start working on it at latest around the release of the 34 kernel.
Congratulations!
Now that this milestone is reached, it’s high time the Ceph-homepage gets a “download”-button (linking to http://ceph.newdream.net/download/ ?) for the userland-tools, and signature-files to allow verifying the authenticy of the files in there.
Drown here by the informative article about Ceph at http://www.linux-mag.com/cache/7744/1.html .
It’s exactly what I was looking for.
