It "should" be: Debian packages are upstream builds with minimal changes (e.g. security patches and various changes to conform with Debian standards). The latter are straight upstream builds. Nothing in life is certain, though! If so, the next question is how to deploy this?

Maybe you need to apt-get update first... not sure? There are issues with running straight up apt-get dist-upgrade in certain configurations. You are unlikely to lose data, but Ceph upgrades are more nuisanced that just apt-get dist-upgrading everything (e.g. IIRC Debian and maybe upstream downloads.ceph.com builds have postinst hooks that reboots Ceph daemons immediately -- you'd want to be careful about this and keep it in mind). You also probably want to minimally set noout during upgrades to prevent RADOS from trying to recover unnecessarily if something goes awry. The docs on the latter approach are about as good as it gets: https://docs.ceph.com/en/latest/releases/octopus/#upgrading-from-mimic-or-nautilus > BTW, in the long run I'll probably want to get to container-based Reef, but > I need to keep a stable cluster throughout. > > Any advice or reassurance much appreciated. > > Thanks. > > -Dave > > -- > Dave Hall > Binghamton University > kdhall@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx > _______________________________________________ > ceph-users mailing list -- ceph-users@xxxxxxx > To unsubscribe send an email to ceph-users-leave@xxxxxxx > _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list -- ceph-users@xxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to ceph-users-leave@xxxxxxx
