Hello,
We use parted in ceph-ansible playbook [1] to retrieve some devices information, the parted ansible module runs a parted/print command [2], but we are facing an issue where ownerships get modified after that.
Doing the test manually without ansible context shows it's parted itself which apply this change:
Before running parted on /dev/sdc:
[root@osd0 ~]# ls -l /dev/sdc*
brw-rw----. 1 root disk 8, 32 Jun 11 08:53 /dev/sdc
brw-rw----. 1 ceph ceph 8, 33 Jun 11 08:53 /dev/sdc1
brw-rw----. 1 ceph ceph 8, 34 Jun 11 08:53 /dev/sdc2
Running a basic parted/print:
[root@osd0 ~]# parted -s /dev/sdc print
Model: ATA QEMU HARDDISK (scsi)
Disk /dev/sdc: 53.7GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: gpt
Disk Flags:
Number Start End Size File system Name Flags
1 1049kB 1075MB 1074MB ceph block.db
2 1075MB 2149MB 1074MB ceph block.db
We can see ownerships have changed from ceph:ceph to root:disk:
[root@osd0 ~]# ls -l /dev/sdc*
brw-rw----. 1 root disk 8, 32 Jun 11 08:57 /dev/sdc
brw-rw----. 1 root disk 8, 33 Jun 11 08:57 /dev/sdc1
brw-rw----. 1 root disk 8, 34 Jun 11 08:57 /dev/sdc2
[root@osd0 ~]#
I'm wondering whether there's a good reason for this or should it be considered as a bug?
Thanks!
