Hi Eugen,
Hi Frédéric,

One after the other, please:

Do you have the ceph-osd package installed on the servers? It's known

Yes, ceph-osd is installed on all nodes. This must have happened
automatically when setting them up. Is this wrong?

Is it possible that there are still remainders from previous attempts
> and not everything was properly cleaned up?


I've looked for remainders of old installations. In fact, there was one, a
ruin, which remained from an unfinished bootstrap (because my whole cluster
had broken down). I've removed them, but no use.

Did you inspect the logs? /var/log/ceph/cephadm.log could show some hints.


Yo. In fact, I found out about my issue in the logfile, but it doesn't
say, *which
*file can't be accessed due to lack of permission.

And just one thought on the number of monitors: It's not useful to

Shall I reduce it to 3?

And:

In addition to Eugen's recommendations, could you also check for

I've seen user #167 several times in /var/lib/ceph and its subfolders
without knowing who he in fact is. It's not user ceph.

Jacek
