[pve-devel] [PATCH docs 3/3] Fix #2018: CephFS client needs newer binaries

Tue Feb 12 10:44:51 CET 2019


To run cephfs client the debian stock packages need to be updated to
luminous to get it running.

This patch adds a section with our Ceph repositories to our package repo
chapter to where the cephfs storage plugin chapter links to.
