I agree with Jens that /etc/ceph should *not* be owned by the ceph user, but the files contained within it must be readable by the ceph user.
/var/lib/ceph as root should not present a problem so long as the subdirs are owned correctly. Still need to ID the problem around /var/run/ceph - Chirs - what was your path to this install problem, and does it still exist? ** Changed in: ceph (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete ** Changed in: ceph (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1562030 Title: Ceph directories not owned by Ceph user To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ceph/+bug/1562030/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
