Then again, I am hit by the 13.2.7+ bug https://tracker.ceph.com/issues/43259 on one Mimic cluster. >From what I can divine, it is a regression where some other fix or feature for rgw caused CopyObject to start failing for S3 clusters after 13.2.7. No fix or revert was done for mimic. Nor Nautilus. Then those two releases "timed out" and aren't considered worth the developers time anymore, so the ticket just got bumped to "fix later, and backport to Oct and Pac when that is done." So, while I would have liked to simply upgrade to N,O,P to fix this, none of them has the fix currently, so upgrading the cluster will not help me, and the N->O bump will incur one of those "an hour or more per hdd OSD" conversions which are kind of sad to plan for, and as we know the Pac release is currently not a fun place to upgrade into either. In my dream world, an LTS would not have seen a feature break another, and if it wasn't a feature but some fix for something else then someone would have to make a decision if it is ok to cause one bug to fix another and revert the fix if it wasn't ok to break old features. As is it now, a third option was possible, to let it slip and not-fix it at all and just tag it for later because so much else has changed by now. It got "fixed" in master after almost two years but the backports to O+P has been stale for 4 months, which means I will have to make several jumps and then move to Q early on when it arrives in order to get back to the working setup I had at 13.2.6.. This is at least my reason for wanting something like an LTS version. -- May the most significant bit of your life be positive. _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list -- ceph-users@xxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to ceph-users-leave@xxxxxxx
