Additional context

I asked about ceph-fuse in another related issue but was told the question was just going to be ignored so I'm opening this issue.

This isn't the right location to report missing packages - this is for issues regarding the Linux kernel.

However, since this already your second attempt...

The Debian description of the ceph-fuse package says:

Ceph is a distributed network file system designed to provide excellent performance, reliability, and scalability. This is a FUSE-based client that allows one to mount a Ceph file system without root privileges.

Because the FUSE-based client has certain inherent performance limitations, it is recommended that the native Linux kernel client be used if possible. If it is not practical to load a kernel module (insufficient privileges, older kernel, etc.), then the FUSE client will do.

Given that we have added kernel Ceph support, why do you want the slower FUSE equivalent?

Thanks for the response, my first post was just a question, nothing more. I didn't realize this was the wrong place so thanks for pointing that out.

Regarding ceph-fuse, I've been having issues getting the kernel module to work properly, the FUSE module on the other hand just works and is easier to configure to boot. Since Ceph support is missing on Raspberry Pi I'm currently using an NFSv4 mount instead but it's not been reliable.

I want to use ceph-fuse which is available in Debian but it is missing.

It's only available in Debian (and Ubuntu) for amd64. If there's no reason it can't be built for armhf and/or arm64, it should be reported to Debian.

[DavidZidar]

@XECDesign Oh I see, thanks. I'll have a look there then. But just so I understand, does that mean that if Debian fixes it upstream it would automatically be picked up by Raspbian at some point down the line?

[XECDesign]

Yes, but also if the maintainers of the package verify that there's not reason for it to be disabled, we can pull it into Raspberry Pi OS earlier.

@XECDesign Cool, I understand, thanks for the help.
