Why this stack? For no other reason really other than it works perfectly, has caused me almost no pain in the 6+ years I've used it for this kind of DFS stuff (across several clients) and there are no features I need in ceph which would make me take the less mature option.
I've been using LeoFS a little lately also again ontop of ZFS and it's working reasonably well (S3 compat stuff).
Currently why anyone would use HAMMER2 or BTRFS for anything important escapes me.
