I&#x27;d be also interested in a bit of info why Ceph and GlusterFS disappointed you. I tried GlusterFS a few years ago and it took a good while to figure out the right setup but in the end had disappointing small file performance.<p>Ceph was very interesting but wasn&#x27;t product ready when I looked at it and since then it somehow never got to a stage where people would rave about it so that alone makes me think it&#x27;s maybe too complicated. A bit like BTRFS which also for years and years is being developed and sounds really promising but never seems to be finally ready without gotchas.
