I do not think that's possible. Then in the current situation * if you deployed a Reef on a distribution that initially suited you when planning the cluster (CentOS-Stream 8 + Reef), you must resetup all hosts to CentOS-Stream 9. Yes, in the middle of the year. Right now (ha-ha) * if you are trying to update from a previous release: Pacific to Reef, then first you need to upgrade to 18.2.2, which is very buggy. Somehow live with bugs (ha-ha-ha). And now perform a resetup of all hosts This has never happened before - stop packaging in the middle of even release cycle (this not the 13, 15, 17 release, where everything is possible). I hope common sense, between the distributions on which testing is carried out, and the distributions for which packages are assembled (why shouldn’t they be assembled if just a few months ago they were assembled perfectly on the same package base) - these are different things Otherwise, we need Zac to correct the information listed in the ABC matrix here [1] k [1] https://docs.ceph.com/en/latest/start/os-recommendations/#platforms _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list -- ceph-users@xxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to ceph-users-leave@xxxxxxx
