Description Rolf Fokkens 2013-11-14 11:22:21 UTC
Description of problem:
After having installed ceph the mount command should invoke the mount.ceph helper when mount "-t ceph", but the helper is not invoked. This is caused by the fact that mount.ceph is in /usr/sbin while mount searches /sbin


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ceph-0.67.3-2.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install the ceph package
2. mount -t ceph with the secretfile= option
3. note that the helper is not called resulting in the kernel not understanding the secretfile= option

Actual results:
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on 195.169.23.142:/,
       missing codepage or helper program, or other error
       (for several filesystems (e.g. nfs, cifs) you might
       need a /sbin/mount.<type> helper program)
       In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
       dmesg | tail  or so
syslog:
libceph: bad option at 'secretfile=/etc/ceph/secret.admin.key'

Expected results:
succesful mount

Additional info:
Is probably caused by the fact that (recent) fedora moved /sbin to /usr/sbin, but the src.rpm should make an exception for epel.

Comment 7 Rolf Fokkens 2014-10-04 06:54:51 UTC
The forementioned ceph-0.80.5-9 solves the problem, but the current version is broken (again?):

[root@thdev2 ~]# rpm -q ceph
ceph-0.81.0-5.el6.x86_64
[root@thdev2 ~]# rpm -q -l ceph | grep mount
/usr/sbin/mount.ceph
/usr/share/man/man8/mount.ceph.8.gz
[root@thdev2 ~]#

Comment 8 Boris Ranto 2014-10-04 07:22:56 UTC
Hi Rolf,

the version 1:ceph-0.80.5-9 supersedes the version ceph-0.81.0-5.el6.x86_64 which is just a development/testing version of the ceph package. The package in fedora or epel won't ever be pushed to that version (it will always be pushed to the latest stable version).

i.e. the version 0:ceph-0.81.0-5.el6.x86_64 is broken but the version 1:ceph-0.80.5-9 is an upgrade for it and fixes the problem -> moving back to ON_QA.

Comment 9 Rolf Fokkens 2014-10-04 09:02:10 UTC
Oops, you'r right. Overlooked that there's an epoch involved.

Comment 10 Boris Ranto 2014-10-06 14:26:07 UTC
Yep, we had to involve epochs because the version 0.81 should have never landed in fedora/epel -- it is unstable development version of the ceph project.

Comment 11 Fedora Update System 2014-10-09 19:51:47 UTC
ceph-0.80.5-9.el6 has been pushed to the Fedora EPEL 6 stable repository.  If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
