Thats ok and thanks for the explanation. I'm thinking it would be a good
addition to the 5 minute quickstart to say wheezy is a better bet than
squeeze??

The link I gave for squeeze backports (eg backported by debian from wheezy for 
squeeze) definitely includes the 3.2.x kernel which definitely contains an 
rbd.ko module.

Squeeze is running 2.6.32, and the Ceph filesystem client was first
merged in 2.6.33 (rbd in 2.6.37 I think). We don't have any backports
to that far, sorry.

Apart from that, if using the kernel clients you really want to be
using very up-to-date kernels (eg, new Ubuntu) — somebody else will
have to speak up about precisely how new. Otherwise I'd try for a
userspace solution. :)

FWIW, there's a 3.2 kernel in squeeze-backports 
http://packages.debian.org/squeeze-backports/linux-image-3.2.0-0.bpo.4-amd64 
and according to the list of files 
http://packages.debian.org/squeeze-backports/amd64/linux-image-3.2.0-0.bpo.4-amd64/filelist
 it has files called rbd.ko and ceph.ko

That said, I'm using wheezy with kernel from experimental and haven't had any 
problems so far, so wheezy should be a safe bet.

Yes, I had the same issue and was not able to resolve it for squeeze in the
short time I had.  I ended up upgrading to wheezy and everything worked as
it should. Mine is a test cluster so I didn't mind upgrading but I need to
resolve the issue for prod deployment.

Hi everyone,

I'm working on getting a small ceph cluster running, and I've run into
another issue. When trying to set up CephFS using the guide, when I try to
load the Ceph module, I get the error "FATAL: Module ceph not found".
Similarly, when I try to start a block device using rbd, I get the error
"FATAL: Module rbd not found". How can I correct these? It was not
mentioned anywhere that I would have to modify the kernel.
