Re: blueprint: ceph platform portability

[Li Wang <liwang@ubuntukylin.com>]

We did some work on Sparc machine, fixed some little endian/big endian 
as well as non-align access issues. We are using CentOS 6 recompiled 
version. We have managed to compile Ceph, however, it still could not 
work properly due to some aotmic function bug from some libs. We did not 
track it further recently.

Any experiences on running Ceph on big endian machine to share?
