[Bug 1562030] Re: Ceph directories not owned by Ceph user

[Dr. Jens Rosenboom]

How did you install ceph and which version exactly? Running as ceph
should only happen with >= 9.2, which is available on Xenial.

If I install ceph=10.0.3-0ubuntu1 on a new machine, /var/lib/ceph and
/var/run/ceph have ceph:ceph as owner, which looks fine to me. One could
discuss the ownership of /etc/ceph, but as it may contain files like the
admin keyring which explictly should not be readable by the ceph user, I
would vote to keep /etc/ceph owned by root.

As a side note, though, maybe /var/lib/ceph does not need to contain all
these subdirs on a fresh install:

# ls -la /var/lib/ceph/ 
total 32
drwxr-x---  8 ceph ceph 4096 Mar 29 13:40 .
drwxr-xr-x 40 root root 4096 Mar 29 13:40 ..
drwxr-xr-x  2 ceph ceph 4096 Mar 18 12:17 bootstrap-mds
drwxr-xr-x  2 ceph ceph 4096 Mar 18 12:17 bootstrap-osd
drwxr-xr-x  2 ceph ceph 4096 Mar 18 12:17 bootstrap-rgw
drwxr-xr-x  2 ceph ceph 4096 Mar 18 12:17 mon
drwxr-xr-x  2 ceph ceph 4096 Mar 18 12:17 osd
drwxr-xr-x  2 ceph ceph 4096 Mar 18 12:17 tmp
