CephFS needed if you only need block storage?

Question

I'm looking into building a CEPH cluster as a storage solution for our proxmox cluster.

It's unclear to me if I need to set up a metadata server too, because this is needed for CephFS but I think CephFS is not used for RBD, correct?

There are lots of openly available docs that coming the information you're looking for. There's a lot of additional information you'll find helpful as well. — Spooler, Jan 27 '18 at 18:08

Yes, mds is only needed for cephfs. For rbd you only need mons, osds and mgrs.
