And while we are at claiming "on a lot more platforms", you are at the same time EXCLUDING a lot of platforms by saying "Linux based container" (remember Ceph on FreeBSD? [0]).

Indeed, and that is a more fundamental question: how easy it is to make Ceph a first-class citizen on non linux platforms. Was that ever a (design) goal? But then again, if you would be able to port docker natively to say OpenBSD, you should be able to run Ceph on it as well. Gr. Stefan
