While we are on the subject of init systems and packaging, I would *love* to fix things up for hammer to
- create a ceph user and group - add various users to ceph group (like qemu or kvm user and apache/www-data?) - fix permissions on /var/log/ceph and /var/run/ceph (770?) so that qemu and rgw can write logs and asok files there - make daemons run as ceph user instead of root The main hangup is with that last one. As I understand it, when packages create users, they get a semi-random UID assigned. That means that all the data on a ceph-osd disk would have a semi-random UID. If it were hot-swapped into another host, the uid would be wrong. Is there a way use a fixed uid? Also on the roadmap is defining proper selinux policies so that these dameons are confined into the appropriate directories etc., but I imagine running as non-root is a big help (or even prerequisite?) to making that happen? Suggestions or comments? Or volunteers? We haven't had time to look at this yet but I think it's important! sage _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list ceph-users@lists.ceph.com http://lists.ceph.com/listinfo.cgi/ceph-users-ceph.com
