If they are created dynamically the uid/gid will vary.
Is this requirement no more needed in newer ceph ?
Well, first of all the use of "ceph" user and group for the Ceph daemons is itself very new. Second, although Fedora and Debian agreed to reserve 167 as the UID/GID for ceph, we were unable to get this reservation in SUSE. The way I have the scriptlet set up now, it first tries to create the ceph user and group with UID and GID 167. If that fails because 167 is taken on the system, then it falls back to dynamic generation.

And I might add that the "requirement" that the UID/GID be the same across the cluster is not really a hard requirement. It is, shall we say, advantageous because it enables swapping of OSD disks between nodes. If two nodes in the cluster use the same UID/GID for ceph, and you swap an OSD disk between them, the OSD will "just work" in the new node. Other than this, there is no requirement that they be the same. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org

Perhaps it is possible to get a valuable reservation lower 100 like it is for postfix (51), named (44), tftp (50) I think it should be possible to find a free number for registration on SUSE
