17.2.6 RC available

We are publishing a release candidate this time for users to try for testing only. Please note this RC had only limited testing. Full testing is being done now. Upgrading has been tested on some internal clusters, and the final upgrade of the longest-running cluster there is in progress. The branch name: https://github.com/ceph/ceph/tree/quincy-release https://shaman.ceph.com/builds/ceph/quincy-release/23eb3b2f0fc65087846571af… To install dev packages see https://docs.ceph.com/en/quincy/install/get-packages/#ceph-development-pack… The container build see - https://quay.ceph.io/ceph-ci/ceph:quincy-release Release notes: https://github.com/ceph/ceph/pull/50721 ***Don’t use this RC on production clusters!*** The goal is to give users time to test and give feedback on RC releases while our upstream long-running cluster also runs the same RC release during that time (period of one week). Please respond to this email to provide any feedback on issues found in this release. Thx YuriW
