Bug #64548
closedceph-base: /var/lib/ceph/crash/posted not chowned to ceph:ceph causing ceph-crash to fail
100%
Description
The Debian package ceph-base postinst applies some chown to ceph:ceph in https://github.com/ceph/ceph/blob/87f6091b9e3c22af23199d5dc07c1ba57029ea6b/debian/ceph-base.postinst#L36
This also covers the folder /var/lib/ceph/crash, but not the subfolder posted which is also part of the package.
This then causes ceph-crash being unable to move posted crashes to this subfolder:
ceph-crash[3797824]: ERROR:ceph-crash:Error scraping /var/lib/ceph/crash: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/var/lib/ceph/crash/2024-02-23T06:10:15.784710Z_8eed1e80-1aaa-41a6-a41b-f20866aa17a0' -> '/var/lib/ceph/crash/posted/2024-02-23T06:10:15.784710Z_8eed1e80-1aaa-41a6-a41b-f20866aa17a0'
1) One solution could be to have ceph-crash (https://github.com/ceph/ceph/blob/main/src/ceph-crash.in) create this subfolder itself and just remove it from the debian package at
https://github.com/ceph/ceph/blob/87f6091b9e3c22af23199d5dc07c1ba57029ea6b/debian/ceph-base.dirs#L9C1-L9C26 so it's not placed there on package install.
2) Another would be to extend element list for the for loop with /var/lib/ceph/crash/*.
I gladly send in a patch with whatever solution you like better.
