Hi all, I cannot get my luminous 12.2.11 mds servers to start on Debian 9(.8) unless nscd is also installed. Trying to start from command line: # /usr/bin/ceph-mds -f --cluster ceph --id mds02.hep.wisc.edu --setuser ceph --setgroup ceph unable to look up group 'ceph': (34) Numerical result out of range Can look up ceph fine with 'id' # id ceph uid=11(ceph) gid=11(ceph) groups=11(ceph) If I strace, I notice that an nscd directory makes an appearance: [...] open("/etc/passwd", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3 lseek(3, 0, SEEK_CUR) = 0 fstat(3, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=285846, ...}) = 0 mmap(NULL, 285846, PROT_READ, MAP_SHARED, 3, 0) = 0x7f5970ed2000 lseek(3, 285846, SEEK_SET) = 285846 munmap(0x7f5970ed2000, 285846) = 0 close(3) = 0 socket(AF_UNIX, SOCK_STREAM|SOCK_CLOEXEC|SOCK_NONBLOCK, 0) = 3 connect(3, {sa_family=AF_UNIX, sun_path="/var/run/nscd/socket"}, 110) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) close(3) = 0 socket(AF_UNIX, SOCK_STREAM|SOCK_CLOEXEC|SOCK_NONBLOCK, 0) = 3 connect(3, {sa_family=AF_UNIX, sun_path="/var/run/nscd/socket"}, 110) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) close(3) = 0 open("/etc/group", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3 lseek(3, 0, SEEK_CUR) = 0 fstat(3, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=122355, ...}) = 0 mmap(NULL, 122355, PROT_READ, MAP_SHARED, 3, 0) = 0x7f5970efa000 lseek(3, 122355, SEEK_SET) = 122355 lseek(3, 7495, SEEK_SET) = 7495 munmap(0x7f5970efa000, 122355) = 0 close(3) = 0 write(2, "unable to look up group '", 25unable to look up group ') = 25 write(2, "ceph", 4ceph) = 4 write(2, "'", 1') = 1 write(2, ": ", 2: ) = 2 write(2, "(34) Numerical result out of ran"..., 34(34) Numerical result out of range) = 34 write(2, "\n", 1 So I install nscd and mds starts! Shouldn't ceph be agnostic in how the ceph group is looked up? Do I have some kind of config problem? My nsswitch.conf file is below. I've tried replacing 'compat' with files, but there is no change. # cat /etc/nsswitch.conf # /etc/nsswitch.conf # # Example configuration of GNU Name Service Switch functionality. # If you have the `glibc-doc-reference' and `info' packages installed, try: # `info libc "Name Service Switch"' for information about this file. passwd: compat group: compat shadow: compat gshadow: files hosts: files dns networks: files protocols: db files services: db files ethers: db files rpc: db files netgroup: nis Thanks!
