Despite all the negative sentiment here, I am super excited about this. I use CoreOS heavily and really like how everything just works. Running Kubernetes on it, is the first cluster solution for me that works without configuration orgies and is robust against machine outages. Torus seems to be the missing piece. For now we use local volumes with sidecar containers for r/o storage and nfs volumes for r/w storage.

All other solutions are not practical. GCE and EBS are only single mount. iSCSI is unsupported in the cloud. Leaving only Ceph and Glusterfs, both mentioned here, but needing heavy configuration.

Gluster does not need heavy configuration: just add peers and create and start volume - 3 commands. Not harder than lvm. Of course, gluster has tons of options to fine tune cluster for various kinds of loads, which is not bad, but confusing for newbies. But if you are newbie, why you need to change defaults?

That's interesting. When I was looking at it, it seemed overwhelming. Do you have some pointers for the basics?

There's lots of work being done in Ceph-Docker to make ceph easier to configure.

On top of that, there's work going on to get Ceph easily deployable on Kubernetes.

Many thanks, that looks doable. I'll give it a try.

Torus is also definitely single mount.
