Dear all, I am fairly new to ceph and just in the process of testing it using several virtual machines. Now I tried to create a block device on a client and fumbled with settings for about an hour or two until the command line rbd --id dovecot create home --size=1024 finally succeeded. The keyring is /etc/ceph/ceph.keyring and I thought the name [client.dovecot] would be used by rbd.
That's right, the [client.dovecot] section is read, and settings there take precendence over settings in the [client] or [global] sections, which also apply. /etc/ceph/ceph.keyring is one of the default keyring locations, so you shouldn't need any special settings to use it though. It just needs to be readable by the unix user you're running commands as.
I would appreciated any hint on how to configure the client.NAME in the config to ease operation.
You can also use /etc/ceph/ceph.client.$id.keyring, where $id = dovecot in this case, so that different clients don't need to share the /etc/ceph/ceph.keyring file.
