Installing it to /sbin would be as simple as dropping this line: https://github.com/ceph/ceph/blob/master/ceph.spec.in#L807

/sbin is a separate directory in SLE/openSUSE.

Do you remember why this was considered a bug?

Ah! From https://github.com/coreos/bugs/issues/358

A bit of context. If you create a new filesystem, and want to be able to mount it using mount -t myfs, the way mount works is that you have to install a binary named mount.myfs in /sbin. As far as I'm aware, this cannot be changed; the directory that mount searches in is fixed as /sbin

I see that in openSUSE the helpers are either installed in /sbin directly, or they installed in /usr/sbin with a symlink in /sbin.
