Synopsis

Description

ceph-post-file will upload files or directories to ceph.com forlater analysis by Ceph developers.

Each invocation uploads files or directories to a separate directorywith a unique tag. That tag can be passed to a developer orreferenced in a bug report (http://tracker.ceph.com/). Once theupload completes, the directory is marked non-readable andnon-writeable to prevent access or modification by other users.

Warning

Basic measures are taken to make posted data be visible only todevelopers with access to ceph.com infrastructure. However, usersshould think twice and/or take appropriate precautions beforeposting potentially sensitive data (for example, logs or datadirectories that contain Ceph secrets).

Options

  • Add a short description for the upload. This is a good opportunityto reference a bug number. There is no default value.
