We'd like to add our own noises of discontent from the public gallery.

We have three Ceph clusters running Alma 8.10, a total of 108 nodes, storing ~40PiB of Science data.

Upgrading these nodes to Alma/Rocky/OEL/RHEL 9.x is something we have been preparing for, but had not expected to do so for another 6 months.

Why remove support for EL8 mid release cycle, with zero warning?

Is there any possibility of getting one more point release of ceph for EL8? This would at least avoid a knee-jerk OS upgrade.

Best regards

Jake

I'll echo Adam's comments here.

Moreover, if we take a step to perform in place upgrade from el8 to el9, will 
18.2.2 compatible for el9 before upgrading to 18.2.4?

This seems like too much effort for a minor release.

Are you saying that the el9 rpms work on el8 hosts?

The complaint so far is that a minor release in Ceph has silently and
unexpectedly seemed to remove support for an OS version that is still
widely deployed. If this was intentional, there is a question as to why
it didn't even warrant a note in the "notable changes" section of the
release notes.

I'm sure that people can switch operating system versions, but this is a
non-trivial amount of effort that should have been clearly indicated
that it was coming and expected. Ideally this sort of drop of OS support
would only come with a major version change, say the v19 release, not in
a bugfix point release.

As for me, I've got 40 hosts that suddenly need non-trivial maintenance
to get us to a reasonable place, given that all users are recommended to
update to 18.2.4.

The repo of reef now returns 404



GET /rpm-reef/el8/SRPMS/ HTTP/1.1
Host: download.ceph.com



< HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found

If change the repo to previous version, the answer 200 as expected



GET /rpm-18.2.2/el8/SRPMS/ HTTP/1.1
Host: download.ceph.com



< HTTP/1.1 200 OK



Seems something wrong with packages
