There are several organizations running those parts of the +system in production. Others wouldn't dream of doing so at this stage. + +The CephFS POSIX-compliant filesystem is functionally-complete and has +been evaluated by a large community of users, but has not yet been +subjected to extensive, methodical testing. + +We can tell you how we test, and what we support, but in the end it's +your judgement that matters most! + +How can I add a question to this list? +====================================== + +If you'd like to add a question to this list (hopefully with an +accompanying answer!), you can find it in the doc/ directory of our +main git repository: + +.. http://github.com/ceph/ceph/doc/faq.rst + +We use Sphinx to manage our documentation, and this page is generated +from reStructuredText source.
