Hi,

I found two maybe related bugs in the tracker (#4287, #3657) but both
are resolved, so I'm wondering if there's spmething I'm doing wrong.
Has anybody sucessfully mapped rbd images with kernel rbd, when cephx
require signatures is set to true in the cluster?

Thanks for your help,
best regards,
Kurt
