We are deploying our application to Openstack with Ceph storage. Does it make any sense to use the Ceph storage for the mongo data store, or the journal. Does anyone know of any documentation on this.

Openstack is the basis for virtualizing a data center (or a large compute stack). So, you would be using Ceph, if you are creating VMs with block storage attached to them through the Openstack APIs. I guess the answer is, you have to use Ceph, for storage capabilities within the Openstack infrastructure.

Well, that is at least how I understand Openstack. I am no expert for sure though.
