Except that the POSIX bit of Ceph is considerably less polished than
the rest of it, at the moment.

Things to rule out: AFS.

Things that might work: the usual suspects, in general (Lustre is
fine, although doesn't automanage redistribution of storage across
nodes, at present, so removing a volume is harder than adding one -
but anything that *does* make removal of storage trivial also
replicates / adds redundant blocks via parity, so you actually "lose
space" to replicas etc).

So, on that note: do you have money to overprovision storage beyond
the bare needs (that is, can you afford to buy 3 times as much storage
as you need, so you can run an HDFS system with the standard 3
replicas of each block)?
