Hi Tommi, I was looking for a way to pass a keyfile, just found it --keyfile (both rbd and qemu drive option) Better indeed ;) ----- Mail original ----- De: "Tommi Virtanen" <tv@xxxxxxxxxxx> À: "Alexandre DERUMIER" <aderumier@xxxxxxxxx> Cc: ceph-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Envoyé: Mercredi 30 Mai 2012 19:40:46 Objet: Re: rbd command : is it possible to pass authkey in argument ?

(I can do in with qemu-rbd drive option) I see you got an answer for your actual question. I wanted to take a different angle. You should really avoid putting secrets on command lines, or in process environment. Those are readable to all local users. This is why I advocate keyring files. Alternatively, with qemu, the monitor command mechanism they have would let you add the drives, before starting up the vm, without the secrets being visible to others. -- -- Alexandre D erumier Ingénieur Système Fixe : 03 20 68 88 90 Fax : 03 20 68 90 81 45 Bvd du Général Leclerc 59100 Roubaix - France 12 rue Marivaux 75002 Paris - France -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe ceph-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
