Not being a nova expert, and not using ceph with nova, I can tell you
that I've been testing ceph extensively and it seems to be like 'the
thing made for nova'. it seems stable, it is reasonable fast and the
features are unbeaten. but I wouldn't use it for hosting qemu-images in
/var/lib/nova/instances, glusterfs would be better suited in that
respect. I've tested it as a block device fully integrated into libvirt.

give it a try!
