[gentoo-user] gentoo (diet) && Ceph ?

Googling sometimes produces hilarious results.

Seriously, I'm looking for any  information/brave
hack on using CEPH fs with Gentoo....


Just for kicks:

The two main things you'll have to do is build a kernel with ceph
support and then create an ebuild for ceph's userland utilities and
put it in your own overlay.  If you have any ceph specific questions
on implementation or bugs then your best bet is either the ceph
mailing list or their IRC channel.  I can take a stab at questions but
Sage, Yehuda or Greg will be able to more thoroughly/accurately answer
them.

OK,

thanks for the info.
I'm building up a couple of new
installs on old hardware, just to
see if I can get this to work.
Do let me know if an overlay
pops up somewhere.....

Not sure how up to date it is as I haven't tested it myself but it
might make your life easier:
