The latest CentOS kernel isn't necessarily very recent: it sounds like the version in use there is a little older (at one point the subdir mount support had this quirk with the kclient that required the root be readable). > Then I checked the data pool with rados, but I can list/get/.. every object > in the data pool using the client.foo key. > > I saw in the docs of master > http://docs.ceph.com/docs/master/cephfs/client-auth/ that you can add a tag > cephfs, but if I add this I can't write anything to cephfs anymore, so I > guess this is not yet supported in luminous. > > --> Is there a way to limit the cephfs user to his data only (through > cephfs) instead of being able to do everything on the pool, without needing > a pool for every single cephfs client? Yes. You can do this with namespaces: set the ceph.dir.layout.pool_namespace on the restricted subdir (before any files are written in there), and then restrict the client's OSD caps to that namespace within the pool, with a cap like "allow rw pool=foo namespace=baz".
