Hi,

the 16.2 release added a Ceph RBD block device as a backend for SPDK =

applications. I am wondering about the inverse?

As in: having Ceph RBD OSDs use SPDK to use NVMe flash as underlying =

block storage.

There seems to be efforts with Ceph/Bluestore

http://www.slideshare.net/sageweil1/bluestore-a-new-faster-storage-backend-=
for-ceph

to allow OSDs use raw block devices as underlying storage (instead of =

Filestore, which shuffles everything through a filesystem).

So put differently: is there a Ceph/Bluestore block device =

implementation using SPDK?

Cheers,
/Tobias
