All,

I have a situation on my RHEL 6.4 cluster that seems to be caused by 
ceph-deploy changing the file permissions on /etc/ceph/ceph.conf after running 
a command such as "ceph-deploy mon create node2 node3".  The idea was to create 
additional monitors for a healthy 3 node cluster that already has a functioning 
default monitor, 3 OSD's each and a single MDS.

This command failed, and I'm not going to cover that here, but another outcome 
was that after running that example command trying to run the "ceph health" or 
"ceph status" command on either the two node results in an error about failing 
to initialize cluster.

A huge amount of research proved that this failed because ceph.conf only had rw 
permissions for "root", and because the ceph commands are run as user "ceph" 
they failed because they could not read ceph.conf.   Changing the file 
permissions on that file resolved this issue.  I should point out that the file 
had full read/write permissions for ceph prior to running the ceph-deploy 
command.

The time stamp of the latest change to the ceph.conf file coincides with when 
the ceph-deploy command above was run.

I am running the latest version of ceph-deploy (1.3.4-0) on the Emperor version 
of Ceph.

I did check the ceph tracker for similar situations, but have not come across 
anything so would appreciate some feedback on this.

Thanks
Alistair
