Description

I'm testing 0.94.1. If /etc/mime.types is not present on a system (eg, from the mailcap RPM), then RGW prints this error in its log:

2015-06-03 14:36:08.108864 7fadc019e880  0 ext_mime_map_init(): failed to open file=/etc/mime.types ret=-2

Does this file affect RGW's operation at all?

packaging: RGW depends on /etc/mime.types

If the mimecap RPM or mime-support DEB is not installed, then the
/etc/mime.types file is not present on the system. RGW attempts to read
this file during startup, and if the file is not present, RGW logs an
error:

ext_mime_map_init(): failed to open file=/etc/mime.types ret=-2

Make the radosgw package depend on the mailcap/mime-support packages so
that /etc/mime.types is always available on RGW systems.

urgent until we know what the impact is

#2 Updated by Sage Weil over 8 years ago

this is a config or doc issue, i think. Ken, what do you suggest?

#3 Updated by Ken Dreyer about 8 years ago

  • Status changed from New to In Progress

We can make the ceph-radosgw package depend on the "mailcap" RPM ("mime-support" on Ubuntu) so that we ensure /etc/mime.types is present on the system.

https://github.com/ceph/ceph-ci/tree/wip-11864-rgw-mime-types-pkg

What do you think?

(also, is ceph-ci.git wired into Gitbuilder?)
