Hello,
because of a performance problem I've checked services and noticed this
line:
● shadow.service
loaded failed failed Verify integrity of password
and group files
So I checked this service and got this output:
$ systemctl status shadow
● shadow.service - Verify integrity of password and group files

As system seems to run without problems (other than performance), I've
got two questions:
1. Do I need the shadow service? Why?
2. Why does it fail? User "ceph" is defined, but /run/ceph does not
exist as its home directory - why? Seems there's a problem in the
installation of ceph-libs or any or its dependants (like libvirt).
Probably the user is created only if whole ceph is installed, too?
Kind regards
Peter
Create the directory /run/ceph and pwck will be happy
How well do you really expect creating a dir on tmpfs to work?
Anyway, for the OP, pacman does not remove users that were created by package
installation for security reasons. If you removed ceph, the user is left over
for you to deal with. See https://www.archlinux.org/todo/usergroup-management/

Okay, thank You, that'll probably fix it - just checked the ceph-package
is in my cache (though not installed, currently), so it seems I had
installed ceph at some time just for testing ...
Kind regards
Pete
