Hi, 

I created a test ceph cluster of 3 nodes on a single host (following the readme in https://github.com/ceph/ceph/tree/pacific).

I am trying navigate the code using gdb breakpoints but it seems to not be working for me (I attached the pid of an osd node to gdb and set breakpoints, but the breakpoints are never hit). 

Could you please tell me what I could be missing and what is the recommended way to set up a debugger with the ceph source code? If there is a write-up that I might have missed, could you also please point me to that?

Thank You,
