It's nice to have your (cluster) config in a centralized location so you know for sure all daemons are using the same config. So yeah, would be nice to have this support for RADOS_URLS too. If I understand you correctly, you have the possibility to use one namespace, which is then used for *both* librados as well as libcephfs, right? Is it possible to use the "namespace" parameter in the ceph.conf for use with rados_ng? Would this work? ... RADOS_KV { # Path to a ceph.conf file for this cluster. # Ceph_Conf = /etc/ceph/ceph.conf; # The recoverybackend has its own ceph client. The default is to # let libcephfs autogenerate the userid. Note that RADOS_KV block does # not have a setting for Secret_Access_Key. A cephx keyring file must # be used for authenticated access. # UserId = "ganesharecov"; # Pool ID of the ceph storage pool that contains the recovery objects. # The default is "nfs-ganesha". # pool = "nfs-ganesha"; # Set the RADOS namespace to use within the pool (default is NULL) namespace = your-name-space-here # Set the object id of the grace database RADOS object (default is "grace") oid = grace } Thanks, Stefan P.s. It would be a waste if nobody is using these useful features because they don't know of their existence / know how to use it.
