I have been trying to build them via https://github.com/ceph/ceph and via rpmbuild ceph.spec. And without applying to many 'hacks', currently I seem to get around 30%-50%(?) of the code build[1] (albeit with quite some warnings[2]).

Is it possible someone from the ceph development team can build these rpms for el9? Or are there serious issues that prevent this? I would say, any such untested hacks of an EOL release are too risky from the sysadmin perspective. My preferred approach would be to migrate to containerized Ceph Nautilus at least temporarily (ceph-ansible can do it), then upgrade the hosts to EL9 while still keeping Nautilus, then, still containerized, upgrade to a more recent Ceph release (but note that you can't upgrade from nautilus to Quincy directly, you need Octopus or Pacific as a middle step), and then optionally undo the containerization (but I have never tried this on Quincy). -- Alexander E.
