Investigate ways to easily use XFS on VirtualBox #15

See: http://docs.ceph.com/docs/jewel/rados/configuration/filesystem-recommendations/#not-recommended

As of Jewel, the Ceph team recommends against using ext4, and instead recommends XFS. I played around with vagrant-persistent-storage so our Vagrantfile would attach an XFS volume to be used for Ceph, but couldn't get it working in the hour or so I spent.

The workaround is to use:

osd max object name len = 256
osd max object namespace len = 64

...but this can cause other problems with clients that use long names. So this needs to be fixed. Help from the community would be much appreciated!
