Use etcd in production and you will lose data. Bounce nodes, simulate power loss and you will lose data. Have you actually used it?

Brandon, a few months ago I met you at a meetup and you did not think this problem needed to be solved, and containers were for ephemeral apps... just an AMA request, what changed hearts?

IMO it is because this can derail the adoption of containers. I think an immature project like this announced so prematurely does more harm than good. And I appreciate people that have experience with this bringing up the real issues.

Here is an example script that will panic anyone using NBD to server a block device (replace qemu-nbd with the nbd export provided by torus)

qemu-img create -f qcow2 f.img 1G mkfs.ext4 f.img modprobe nbd || true qemu-nbd -c /dev/nbd0 f.img mount /dev/nbd0 k killall -KILL qemu-nbd sleep 1 ls k
