@bayeslearner we have not tried cephfs . we will investigate further and let you know.

[bayeslearnerold]

Any update? cephfs is used as one of the certified storage systems for OpenShift.

Anyone from splunk? it's been weeks.

Hello @bayeslearner,

I am so sorry for the delayed response. The SOK does not officially support cephfs at this point, but we will look into this issue to verify the setup.
