Hi , We refer to ceph wiki : http://ceph.newdream.net/wiki/Starting_and_stopping ,use the commands: start|stop -- start or stop the daemon(s) forcestop -- force stop (kill -9) killall -- kill all instance of daemon type on the host (useful is pid file is wrong or missing) cleanlogs -- clean out log directory cleanalllogs -- clean out _everything_ from log directory If we execute the command : "init-ceph cleanalllogs" , which will delete / folder (logs,see below ): ================================================ 1. cleanalllogs $ sudo /etc/init.d/init-ceph cleanalllogs === mon.0 === removing all logs rm: cannot remove `/var/log/ceph/stat': Is a directory rm: cannot remove `/bin': Is a directory rm: cannot remove `/boot': Is a directory rm: cannot remove `/cdrom': Is a directory rm: cannot remove `/dev': Is a directory rm: cannot remove `/etc': Is a directory rm: cannot remove `/home': Is a directory rm: cannot remove `/lib': Is a directory rm: cannot remove `/lost+found': Is rm: cannot remove `/media': Is a directory rm: cannot remove `/mnt': Is a directory rm: cannot remove `/opt': Is a directory rm: cannot remove `/proc': Is a directory rm: cannot remove `/root': Is a directory rm: cannot remove `/sbin': Is a directory rm: cannot remove `/selinux': Is a directory rm: cannot remove `/srv': Is a directory rm: cannot remove `/sys': Is a directory rm: cannot remove `/tmp': Is a directory rm: cannot remove `/usr': Is a directory rm: cannot remove `/var': Is a directory /etc/init.d/init-ceph: 1: cut: not found /etc/init.d/init-ceph: 1: cut: not found /etc/init.d/init-ceph: 1: sed: not found /etc/init.d/init-ceph: 1: /usr/local/bin/cconf: not found /etc/init.d/init-ceph: 1: /usr/local/bin/cconf: not found /etc/init.d/init-ceph: 1: /usr/local/bin/cconf: not found === . === /etc/init.d/init-ceph: 1: /usr/local/bin/cconf: not found /etc/init.d/init-ceph: 1: /usr/local/bin/cconf: not found /etc/init.d/init-ceph: 1: /usr/local/bin/cconf: not found /etc/init.d/init-ceph: 1: grep: not found /etc/init.d/init-ceph: 1: /usr/local/bin/cconf: not found /etc/init.d/init-ceph: 1: dirname: not found removing all logs /etc/init.d/init-ceph: 1: whoami: not found /etc/init.d/init-ceph: 1: bash: not found ========================================================= 2.init-ceph script ................................. ................................. force-reload | reload) signal_daemon $name c$type $pid_file -1 "Reloading" ;; restart) $0 $options stop $name $0 $options start $name ;; cleanlogs) echo removing logs do_cmd "for f in $log_sym_dir/$name*; do rm -f \`readlink \ $f\` ; rm -f \$f ; done" ;; cleanalllogs) echo removing all logs do_cmd "rm -f $log_dir/* $log_sym_dir/* || true" ;; *) usage_exit ;; esac done exit 0 ================================================= Look into init-ceph codes, should be "$log_sym_dir/* " equal to "/*", "cleanlogs" command also exist this issue. init-ceph script might be add a check for "$log_dir" and "$log_sym_dir". and If we detect some of bugs ,does it update to http://tracker.newdream.net/projects/ceph ? if yes ,how ? thanks.
