  • How is ceph working out for you btw? I’m looking into distributed storage solutions rn. My usecase is to have a single unified filesystem/index, but to store the contents of the files on different machines, possibly with redundancy. In particular, I want to be able to upload some files to the cluster and be able to see them (the directory structure and filenames) even when the underlying machine storing their content goes offline. Is that a valid usecase for ceph?

    Yes but what if you need to set up a computer for public use at a community center or a library or something? You shouldn’t expect the visitors to know your custom config. Until there’s a tiling WM that also has GUI elements that enforce the principle of discoverability, I think off-the-shelf DE’s are the only viable option for this usecase.
