Re: How to know is ceph is ready?

"Ceph is ready" covers a lot of territory. It's more like, "How can I
delay util Ceph is available for the particular service I need?

I've been taking a systemd-bsaed approach. Since I don't actually care
bout Ceph in the abstract, but I'm actually looking for the Ceph or
Ceph NFS shares, I create dependencies in my systemd setup such that
the dependent VM or container (quadlet) requires its ceph mounts to be
online before that service can start.

I'm still evaluating how well that works. I'll let you know after the
next hurricane hits. But so far, so good.
