[Bug 1851290] Re: Add backport for (s390x) endian fixes to ceph nautilus

[James Page]

** Also affects: ceph (Ubuntu Eoan)
   Importance: Undecided
       Status: New

** Description changed:

- Since 'luminous' ceph (and in particular ceph-mon) fails on the s390x
- big endian platform.
+ [Impact]
+ Ceph is not functional on big-endian deployments (s390x)
+ 
+ [Test Case]
+ Deploy ceph on a s390x (using Juju charms).
+ Monitors will fail to start, OSD's won't bootstrap.
+ 
+ [Regression Potential]
+ Low, patch has had lots of review upstream and has been accepted into the nautilus stable branch which is the release Ubuntu has in Focal and Eoan.
+ 
+ [Original Bug Report]
+ Since 'luminous' ceph (and in particular ceph-mon) fails on the s390x big endian platform.
  
  A bug for that was already raised in 2017 - LP 1713032:
  "[luminous] ceph-mon crashes when it is elected leader (s390x)"
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/cloud-archive/+bug/1713032
  
  It was a longer running task to get things fixed for s390x.
  And finally uweigand (many thx Uli) got everything accepted upstream:
  "Fix big-endian handling #30079" - https://github.com/ceph/ceph/pull/30079
  
  In parallel to that there is also a backport of these s390x endianess fixes for ceph 'nautilus':
  "nautilus: backport endian fixes #30697" - https://github.com/ceph/ceph/pull/30697
  
  This ticket is to get this upstream checked, tested and partly approved
  'nautilus' backport integrated into the UCA ceph 'nautilus'.
