Hello,

I currently have a 30 node ~200TB Raw Ceph storage primarily used as a 
CephFS POSIX Complaint storage for my enclave. Currently I am working on 
setting up a dual node High Availability ovirt 4.1 cluster. Considering 
avoiding any single points of failure, I would like to use CephFS as my 
storage domains and want to use the Self-Hosed Engine feature.

When setting up the Self-Hosted Engine and reaching the steps for 
"Configuring Storage",  POSIX Compliant FS or CephFS is not an option...

Prompt:

|During customization use CTRL-D to abort. Please specify the storage you 
would like to use (glusterfs, iscsi, fc, nfs3, nfs4)[nfs3]:|

Is there a work around for this or any future POSIX FS/CephFS Support 
for the Self-Hosted-Engine setup? I was able to create CephFS Domains 
within Ovirt and they work great. I was also wondering if it would be 
possible to migrate the self-hosted VM to the CephFS storage but this 
would require shutting down the VM itself, sort of a catch-22.

Thanks,

-Michael
