Hi all, This evening I was in the process of deploying a ceph cluster by hand. I did it by hand because to my knowledge, ceph-deploy doesn't support Gentoo, and my cluster here runs that.
The instructions I followed are these ones: http://docs.ceph.com/docs/master/install/manual-deployment and I'm running the 10.0.2 release of Ceph: ceph version 10.0.2 (86764eaebe1eda943c59d7d784b893ec8b0c6ff9) Things went okay bootstrapping the monitors. I'm running a 3-node cluster, with OSDs and monitors co-located. Each node has a 1TB 2.5" HDD and a 40GB partition on SSD for the journal. Things went pear shaped however when I tried bootstrapping the OSDs. All was going fine until it came time to activate my first OSD. ceph-disk activate barfed because I didn't have the bootstrap-osd key. No one told me I needed to create one, or how to do it. There's a brief note about using --activate-key, but no word on what to pass as the argument. I tried passing in my admin keyring in /etc/ceph, but it didn't like that. In the end, I muddled my way through the manual OSD deployment steps, which worked fine. After correcting permissions for the ceph user, I found the OSDs came up. As an added bonus, I now know how to work around the journal permission issue at work since I've reproduced it here, using a UDEV rules file like the following: SUBSYSTEM=="block", KERNEL=="sda7", OWNER="ceph", GROUP="ceph", MODE="0600" The cluster seems to be happy enough now, but some notes on how one generates the OSD activation keys to use with `ceph-disk activate` would be a big help.
