There is no need to worry about this deprecation, Its mostly for admins to be prepared for the changes coming ahead and its mostly for *new* installations that can plan on using ceph-volume which provides great flexibility compared to ceph-disk. a) many dont use ceph-disk or ceph-volume directly, so the tool you have right now eg: ceph-deploy or ceph-ansible will still support the ceph-disk, the previous ceph-deploy release is still available from pypi https://pypi.python.org/pypi/ceph-deploy b) also the current push will help anyone who is using ceph-deploy or ceph-disk in scripts/chef/etc to have time to think about using newer cli based on ceph-volume > On Tue, Nov 28, 2017 at 9:26 AM Willem Jan Withagen <wjw@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: >> >> On 28-11-2017 13:32, Alfredo Deza wrote: >> > >> > I understand that this would involve a significant effort to fully >> > port over and drop ceph-disk entirely, and I don't think that dropping >> > ceph-disk in Mimic is set in stone (yet). >> >> Alfredo, >> >> When I expressed my concers about deprecating ceph-disk, I was led to >> beleive that I had atleast two release cycles to come up with something >> of a 'ceph-volume zfs ....' >> >> Reading this, there is a possibility that it will get dropped IN mimic? >> Which means that there is less than 1 release cycle to get it working? >> >> Thanx, >> --WjW >> >> >> _______________________________________________ >> ceph-users mailing list >> ceph-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx >> http://lists.ceph.com/listinfo.cgi/ceph-users-ceph.com > > > _______________________________________________ > ceph-users mailing list > ceph-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx > http://lists.ceph.com/listinfo.cgi/ceph-users-ceph.com > _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list ceph-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.ceph.com/listinfo.cgi/ceph-users-ceph.com
