See: http://docs.ceph.com/docs/jewel/rados/configuration/filesystem-recommendations/#not-recommended

As of Jewel, the Ceph team recommends against using ext4, and instead recommends XFS. I played around with vagrant-persistent-storage so our Vagrantfile would attach an XFS volume to be used for Ceph, but couldn't get it working in the hour or so I spent.

The workaround is to use:

osd max object name len = 256
osd max object namespace len = 64

...but this can cause other problems with clients that use long names. So this needs to be fixed. Help from the community would be much appreciated!

Hey!

Is #16 any help with this?

I have a way of attaching disks to vagrant hosts, at least for Virtualbox, but it's not portable to eg VMWare.

I'd like to give the vagrant-persistent-storage plugin another shot so it can handle low-level storage commands to VirtualBox.
