@arttor Good catch on the differing base image, thanks. @microyahoo @cupnes To be clear: - This behavior is only seen in Rook v1.17 when the Ceph version is v18? -...

Perhaps there is even an incompatibility between Ceph 19.2.1 and Rook's based image of 19.2.2. Another test is if Ceph 19.2.2 will work with Rook base image 19.2.2.

Note that we have explored running a Rook image on the same base image as the running ceph image, described in #13848, which may be the only full solution for...

Ok, I'm understanding that the default zones are always getting created when the base image is v19, even if the Ceph version is also the same v19. So it sounds...

@cbodley Thanks for the input. Now to summarize my understanding: - Ceph no longer sets a default realm. In Ceph v18 and prior this was done automatically when Rook created...
