What is new in Proxmox 5.3 - CEPHFS is finally integrated in GUI

CephFS finally easy to use in Proxmox VE 5.3

Ceph has been integrated in Proxmox VE for a few years already. However it was difficult to use because it was only available as a block device (not as a mountable file system).
Now Proxmox has finally integrated mountable Ceph file system directly to the Proxmox VE web gui. Proxmox release statements claims administrators can now create CephFS just within a few clicks.
Being able to create and mount (use) CephFS is a true game changer. I will test to make sure it is able to be used for backup, to be mounted inside lxc containers.

I have been using other file system such as NFS via OMV (media vault) for a while. I am not happy with its performance. I hope CephFS will be much faster.

Stay tuned for my next blog for my review of how CephFS for my real scenario review.
