Mandi! Alwin Antreich In chel di` si favelave...
I'm not a ceph expert, but solution iii) seems decent for me, with a little overhead (a readlinkk and a stat for every osd start). However you like it. But to note that in Ceph Nautilus the udev rules aren't shipped anymore.
Ok. I make a note.
But still i don't understood why, if i have: and: (so, journal partition group-owned by 'disk' and 'ceph' user in group 'disk'), still i have permission access. The ceph-osd process reset group ownership on runtime? In Luminous udev is handling all of that, see 95-ceph-osd.rules.
No, sorry, evidently i'm not explaining myself correctly. I've added the 'ceph' user to group 'disk':
root@capitanmarvel:~# LANG=C id ceph uid=64045(ceph) gid=64045(ceph) groups=64045(ceph),6(disk)
and journal devices are group-owned by 'disk' and have read and write permission for the group (660):
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 6 ago 28 14:38 /dev/sda6
So, because user 'ceph' are in group 'disk', and group 'disk' have read and write permission to the device, i can ACTUALLY read and write to the device. But is not the case. So, seems to me that 'ceph-osd' process ''reset'' group membership and ignore the 'disk' group. Note, that if i 'su' to ceph, i can read the disks: ceph@capitanmarvel:~$ ls -la /dev/sda6 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 6 ago 28 14:38 /dev/sda6 ceph@capitanmarvel:~$ dd if=/dev/sda6 count=1 | strings 1+0 record dentro 1+0 record fuori 512 bytes copied, 0,000479581 s, 1,1 MB/s bm?hF lB@4 l+<t -- dott.
