Re: Call for help on testing ceph



Hi Ola,

while I appreciate your work, I'm not sure if removing ceph from the
list of supported packages wouldn't be the better option.
Doing a mistake while patching things might destroy data...
But I'll happily leave the descision to you.

Hi LTS team and fellow ceph maintainers

I have prepared an updated package of ceph with fixes for a few CVEs.
It took me longer time than I expected due to the cheer size of the
package build and compile time.
I have based the fixes on upstream patches or patches done for jessie.
The patches I based the fixes on had to be modified for the package to
build. They are quite straight forward, but as always I could make a
mistake.
More information on what I did is available in my preliminary monthly
report here:

What I would like to know is whether you know of any good methods of
testing ceph in order to verify that the package works as it should.

Thank you in advance.

If you are interested you can look at the build here:

http://apt.inguza.net/stretch-lts/ceph/

The packag build is not signed. I plan to do that when it is properly
tested.
When I have tested it, I will upload and remove the files from the
above location.

Thank you in advance,

// Ola

Hi LTS team

I'm currently building ceph. I have prepared the patches for the
vulnerabilities and it looks fine. I cannot yet promised that it
will build fine. The build takes quite some time since it produces
some 45 GB of data...

Anyway the reason I'm contacting you is that I do not think I will
be able to test this package in any useful way. It looks way too
complicated to set up. Do any of you have experience in it?

Cheers

// Ola
