Subject: cephadm: in cephadm shell mount /var/lib/ceph under /srv
X-Git-Url: http://git-server-git.apps.pok.os.sepia.ceph.com/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=abaaefd5d9c84f06a4ea3406800886c7974e0324;p=ceph.git

cephadm: in cephadm shell mount /var/lib/ceph under /srv

When running cephadm shell mount /var/lib/ceph at /srv/ceph unless
/var/lib/ceph is already being passed to cephadm shell -v option.
The default mount is read only. Passing it manually allows the user
to mount it in a custom location read/write.

The mount location at /srv/ceph is chosen because /var/lib/ceph is
already in use for compatibility with various ceph. The /srv tree
is currently unused by the container and serves a similar purpose
to /var/lib if you turn your head in squint a little.

Making this change enables the use of tools that want to read
files or connect to sockets in that file heirarchy. Specifically,
in this case, the ceph smb ctl tool.
