Ceph

Hi,

I installed and upgraded Ceph RPMS on my fresh CentOS VM without issue. I can provide more information if needed.

Hi Steven -

Are you running Arch Linux ? If so, can you tell me the version, and also the versions of the rpm and yum packages installed ? I suspect we've got some incompatibility with the way we build the repository.

Thanks,
Gary

For reference here's the output of a ceph v0.56.2 install on centos 6.3 (With fc17 kernel):

Complete!

Nope, Running CentOS 6.3 with a custom kernel (3.6.9-vanilla at the moment). Give me about half an hour and I'll kickstart up a fresh node and make sure the issue still appears there.

Nope, issue persists on a fresh install of the node. I'm not sure what information would be helpful, but if you let me know, I'd be happy to provide it.

Still failing on the chown of /etc/ceph ? Are you by any chance using selinix features, or anything that might cause permission denied on the chown ?

Thanks,
Gary

Hi Steven -

I looked at the kickstart file and I did not see anything that looked suspicious. At the moment we're not set up to duplicate your installation process. Is there any chance you can help us try to isolate the problem by using yum to install ceph on a freshly installed system.

Thanks,
Gary

Gary,
I did that on a freshly kickstarted system already. I'm unsure how much fresher I can get the system without having it be a plain CentOS system.

I am of course willing to try whatever you'd like me to.

Steve
