[Metalab] Distributed Redundant Storage

[gaelic]

If you read the ceph mailinglist you also should know that you can use
virtually any FS you wan't and are not bound to btrfs, btrfs is only
suggested.
And I don't think you mean btrfs is unprofessional ... but at the
moment its still signed as 'experimental' by the devs. Still, my
experience is that it's very reliable as I never had failures within
the last 2 years on several machines.

Regards,
