Changing it to "7.2" (Wheezy) gets it past that check and the mon installed and running. However I'm fully expecting it to fail in subtle ways at some later point. So I guess this means exactly what I suspected, no supported way by native Debian distro tools (aka mkcephfs) or the inktank ceph-deploy to create ceph clusters in Debian sid (testing is still at Argonaut I think). Hopefully James Page will pipe up at some point. ^.^ Regards, Christian -- Christian Balzer Network/Systems Engineer chibi@xxxxxxx Global OnLine Japan/Fusion Communications http://www.gol.com/ _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list ceph-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.ceph.com/listinfo.cgi/ceph-users-ceph.com
