Should it take the base > device, like activate and prepare? Or a mounted path? Or either? It should be easy to convert device/mountpoint by using findmnt so I would prefer what is more consistent with the user interface... IIRC, if the parameter is a base device, what should happen if device is not mounted? If mount path - then what about other data/journal partitions? It seems to me that parameter could be base OSD device and chown will simply handle all its partitions.

Well, systemd could do that if the service is generated (like e.g. cryptsetup activation jobs are generated according to crypttab). But this adds complexity that we do not need... Maybe another option is to use environment variable (CEPH_USER or so), set it in service Environment=/EnvironmentFile... and ceph-osd will use that... But I think some systemd gurus will find something better here:) Thanks, Milan -- 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
