@james-page: Thanks! I see where you're coming from. Just let me point out: I understand that Ceph is targeting for the most part rather huge installations where Ceph is running on its own servers or in a Docker container and that's what the Ceph folks suggest to use. And I certainly understand that that's the more "exicting" part of Ceph's abilities. Development-wise as well as business-wise. And it's amazing that Ceph is able to run on such huge installations. And while it certainly is more efficient to run Ceph like that, please don't forget us SMEs completely.
For us, every single rather miniscule complexity that's added means more costs. For us, running Ceph and the web services on just two nodes, connected via crosslink means: A very efficient and comfortable way to have a small server but still have failover. Fact is: Nothing comes even close to the performance, stability and reliability of Ceph for that. No Gluster, no NFS - nothing. And when everything is on one the same server, we often need to be able to use a recent ubuntu version Apache, PHP etc. Ceph packages are in fact available on Ubuntu Mantic and you allow a do-release-upgrade on 23.04 even with Ceph packages installed. So this is obviously not sth. Canonical totally blocks. And over the years, this worked just perfectly. The problem arose when there were buggy GIT packages delivered with the Update without any warning - crashing the installation. I *almost* got the Reef packages running on Noble by using lots of APT-ignores but eventually failed only with the MGR service due to Python dependency hell. So, I guess the whole problem could have been easily avoided if you just provided Reef packages for 24.04 until the Squid packages arrive. I might be wrong, but I assume the infrastructure to create these packages should be there. I'm a developer myself, though, so I understand that things sometimes just don't run as planned. So, "no front", just wanted to add another perspective on this issue. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2065515 Title: [SRU] Ceph Squid release To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/cloud-archive/+bug/2065515/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
