Hi,

The main question is that /etc/ceph is not longer needed when you use
etcd...

docker run -d --net=host \
-v /var/lib/ceph:/var/lib/ceph \
-e MON_IP=192.168.0.20 \
-e CEPH_PUBLIC_NETWORK=192.168.0.0/24 \
-e KV_TYPE=etcd \
-e KV_IP=192.168.0.20 \
ceph/daemon mon


I'd like to know/predict the behavior of the system when some pieces could
fail.

Thanks a lot!
Óscar
