Now, I have a explanation and it's _very_ strange, absolutely not related to a problem of Unix rights. For memory, my client node is an updated Ubuntu Trusty and I use ceph-fuse. Here is my fstab line: ~# grep ceph /etc/fstab id=cephfs,keyring=/etc/ceph/ceph.client.cephfs.keyring,client_mountpoint=/ /mnt/ fuse.ceph noatime,nonempty,defaults,_netdev 0 0 My VM is in the Infernalis state where cephfs is well automatically mounted at boot. I have just modified the file /sbin/mount.fuse.ceph (it's shell script) to add these 2 lines: ---------------------------------------------------------------- echo arguments are "$@" >/tmp/mount.fuse.ceph.log [...] # The command launched by /sbin/mount.fuse.ceph via an "exec". echo ceph-fuse $cephargs $2 $3 $opts >>/tmp/mount.fuse.ceph.log ---------------------------------------------------------------- And I have rebooted. After the reboot, big surprise with this: ~# cat /tmp/mount.fuse.ceph.log arguments are id=cephfs,keyring=/etc/ceph/ceph.client.cephfs.keyring,client_mountpoint= /mnt -o rw,_netdev,noatime,nonempty ceph-fuse --id=cephfs --keyring=/etc/ceph/ceph.client.cephfs.keyring --client_mountpoint= /mnt -o rw,noatime,nonempty Yes, this is not a misprint, there is no "/" after "client_mountpoint=". But, with Infernalis, it works even without the "/". ~# ceph-fuse --id=cephfs --keyring=/etc/ceph/ceph.client.cephfs.keyring --client_mountpoint= /mnt -o rw,noatime,nonempty && echo OK ceph-fuse[1380]: starting ceph client 2016-06-02 04:09:37.340050 7f69590e9780 -1 init, newargv = 0x7f695b7ae0b0 newargc=13 ceph-fuse[1380]: starting fuse OK And with Jewel, it's simple, I have exactly the same thing, except that, without the "/", ceph-fuse fails: ~# ceph -v ceph version 10.2.1 (3a66dd4f30852819c1bdaa8ec23c795d4ad77269) ~# ceph-fuse --id=cephfs --keyring=/etc/ceph/ceph.client.cephfs.keyring --client_mountpoint= /mnt -o rw,noatime,nonempty && echo OK ceph-fuse[1302]: starting ceph client 2016-06-02 04:30:25.840514 7f9ec24b2e80 -1 init, newargv = 0x7f9ecba9ffd0 newargc=13 ceph-fuse[1302]: ceph mount failed with (1) Operation not permitted ceph-fuse[1300]: mount failed: (1) Operation not permitted By the way, it seems to me a sane behavior to have a fail with a not clean option. So, this is not a Infernalis=>Jewel regression at all. The problem is: the arguments which are given to /sbin/mount.fuse.ceph are bad. A possible workaround is to just change the place of "client_mountpoint=/" in the fstab line. For instance, no problem with: id=cephfs,client_mountpoint=/,keyring=/etc/ceph/ceph.client.cephfs.keyring /mnt ... ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ It's definitively curious that a manual mount works well and not at boot. My conclusion is that the mechanism (ie the code) to pass arguments to ceph-fuse from fstab are different in these 2 cases (manual mount vs mount at boot). Now, my question is: which program gives the arguments to /sbin/mount.fuse.ceph? Is it the init program (upstart in my case)? Or does it concern a Ceph programs? -- François Lafont _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list ceph-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.ceph.com/listinfo.cgi/ceph-users-ceph.com
