    [SOLVED] existing cephfs has unknown status, after package update, can't mount or create new cephfs storage

    Well I have not upgraded the filesystem to nautilus yet, as far as I understand it, that would require manually changing the package repositories for ceph. I didn't want to do that yet until absolutely necessary.

    [SOLVED] existing cephfs has unknown status, after package update, can't mount or create new cephfs storage

    I can also add that the mount file contains the following: Options=name=admin,secretfile=/etc/pve/priv/ceph/cephfs.secret,conf=/etc/pve/ceph.conf

    [SOLVED] existing cephfs has unknown status, after package update, can't mount or create new cephfs storage

    The /mnt/pve/cephfs directory exists, and new subdirs of /mnt/pve/ are created if I try to create new cephfs filesystems in the gui. journal shows these errors: mount error 22 = Invalid argument kernel: libceph: bad option at 'conf=/etc/pve/ceph.conf' I noticed that two version of libceph...

    [SOLVED] ceph config issue blocks terminal login

    Well it was a bad combination of circumstances. As the router is a virtual appliance, which was dependent on functioning cephfs, (I have removed this dependency) the only access I had was through a KVM device provided by the data centre. Their KVM device uses a Java applet, and that appears to...

    Hi there, After the last package update, on a cluster with version 6.1-7 vms failed to come back up due to missing cephfs dependencies. Ceph is reports no problems and health status is green. However I get: mount error: See "systemctl status mnt-pve-cephfs.mount" and "journalctl -xe" for...

    [SOLVED] ceph config issue blocks terminal login

    I have a config issue with my ceph cluster and can only access via remote KVM. it's impossible to log in because the console output from ceph "libceph: bad option at conf=/etc/pve/ceph.conf" kicks in before the password can be typed, and somehow messes up the terminal input. Is there any...

    automatic migration for critical guest, router

    I'd like to add a shutdown hook so to speak, in systemd to automate the migration of a guest upon intentional reboot of a host. The guest is a router and firewall so it must have low downtime and I like to keep my security patches up to date. My goal is simply saving time, instead of manually...

    pfSense HA setup with 4x node cluster

    Thanks for the reponse. I have 2x 1GbE ports per server node currently, and an IPMI port also. I would be intending to have the cluster on the private network, and expose only via pfSense. I have no experience with cisco rack switches, so I don't know what would be involved to set that up for...

    pfSense HA setup with 4x node cluster

    I'm hoping this will help some others out there, but also would like to assess the viability of this solution. I will get a /29 ip address block with 5 useable IP addresses from the colocation data centre where it will be hosted. I should be able to pre-configure off site the pfsense...

    Install on LSI MegaRAID 9260-8i , no drives detected

    Yes I may well do that, it seems another upgrade worth considering would be a 10Gbe card to improve Ceph's performance.
