Hello Peter, if you want to get rid of all these troubles, just use croit. We bring a pre build and tested Debian 10 (Buster) OS or optionally in Beta a OpenSuse Leap 15.2 based image with our deployment and management software. Btw. all the OS, installation, upgrading hassle are solved with the free forever version. -- Martin Verges Managing director Mobile: +49 174 9335695 E-Mail: martin.verges(a)croit.io Chat: https://t.me/MartinVerges croit GmbH, Freseniusstr. 31h, 81247 Munich CEO: Martin Verges - VAT-ID: DE310638492 Com. register: Amtsgericht Munich HRB 231263 Web: https://croit.io YouTube: https://goo.gl/PGE1Bx On Fri, 30 Apr 2021 at 21:14, Peter Childs <pchilds(a)bcs.org> wrote: > > I'm trying to set up a new ceph cluster, and I've hit a bit of a blank. > > I started off with centos7 and cephadm.
