I'm using CephFS, on CentOS 7. We're currently migrating away from using a catch-all cephx key to mount the filesystem (with the kernel module), to a much more restricted key. In my tests, I've come across an issue, extracting a tar archive with a mount using the restricted key routinely cannot create files or directories in recently created directories. I need to keep running a CentOS based kernel on the clients because of some restrictions from other software. Below looks like a race condition to me, although I am not versed well enough in Ceph or the inner workings of the kernel to know for sure. # tar xf gmp-6.1.2.tar.lz -C /homes/mozes/tmp/ tar: gmp-6.1.2/mpn/x86_64/mulx/adx/addmul_1.asm: Cannot open: Permission denied tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors This gets worse with tracing turned on in the kernel.

I've got some kernel traces to share if anyone is interested. https://people.beocat.ksu.edu/~mozes/ceph-20170425/ # uname -a Linux eunomia 3.10.0-514.16.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Apr 12 15:04:24 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux We're currently running Ceph Jewel (10.2.5). We're looking to update soon, but we wanted a clean backup of everything in CephFS first. The new restricted key has these permissions: caps mds = "allow r, allow rw path=/homes, allow rw path=/bulk, allow rw path=/beocat" caps mon = "allow r" caps osd = "allow rw pool=scratch, allow rw pool=bulk, allow rw pool=homes" While the unrestricted key has these permissions: caps mds = "allow" caps mon = "allow *" caps osd = "allow *" I would appreciate any insights anyone might have.
