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 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to ceph in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1562030 Title: Ceph directories not owned by Ceph user To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ceph/+bug/1562030/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
