+ <h3>Roadmap</h3>
+ <div>
+ Here is a brief summary of what we're currently working on, and what state we expect Ceph to take in the foreseeable future. This is a rough estimate, and highly dependent on what kind of interest Ceph generates in the larger community.
+
+ <ul>
+ <li><b>Q4 2006</b> -- MDS recovery for single MDS configurations.
+ <li><b>Q1/Q2 2007</b> -- MDS recovery for multi-MDS configurations.
+ <li><b>Q2 2007</b> -- Snapshots.
+ </ul>

<h3>Tasks</h3>
<div>
Although Ceph is currently a working prototype that demonstrates the key features of the architecture, a variety of key features need to be implemented in order to make Ceph a stable file system that can be used in production environments. Some of the key tasks are outlined below. If you are a kernel or file system developer and are interested in contributing to Ceph, please join the email list and <a href="mailto:ceph-devel@lists.sourceforge.net">drop us a line</a>.

<h4>Ebofs</h4>

Each Ceph OSD (storage node) runs a custom object "file system" called EBOFS to store objects on locally attached disks. Although the current implementation of EBOFS is fully functional and already demonstrates promising performance (outperforming ext2/3, XFS, and ReiserFS under the workloads we anticipate), a range of improvements will be needed before it is ready for prime-time. These include:
