It is! ceph-deploy needs to know what distribution is it talking to because different distros will install/uninstall packages with different packages managers. Init scripts will also be different, so this "distro detection" is a must to provide the same functionality regardless of what supported distro you might be using. > > It is unuseable for me at present, because it reports: > > [ceph_deploy][ERROR ] UnsupportedPlatform: Platform is not supported: > That looks like a bug. For the past few months the log output of ceph-deploy has tried to improve to give as much useful information as possible. To get to the bottom of this it would be super helpful to know what distro you were attempting to connect to, what the actual command was, and what version of ceph-deploy you were using. Hopefully, with that information and the (possible) bug fix, it will mean that more and more people find ceph-deploy as a robust solution to get a Ceph cluster up and running. > > I therefore need to go back to first principles, but the documentation > seems to have dropped descriptions of driving ceph without smoke and > mirrors. > > The direct approach may be more laborious, but at least it would not > depend on anything except ceph itself. > > Maybe I need to step back a version or two, set up my cluster with > mkcephfs, then switch back to the latest to use it. > > I'll search the documentation again. > -- > 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 -- 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
