I'm having a difficult time installing ceph for the first time by following the newdream wiki site. Can some kind soul help with the following? I've built ceph 0.24 from the tarball on a pristine OpenSUSE 11.3 release, and performed: % make % make install % make install-data (from reading the makefiles) The goal is to install ceph on 3 identical machines, each with a dedicated partition, using btrfs. (yes, ssh access w/o passwords are configured among these machines) 1) /etc/init.d/ceph is not installed, nor are the sample confs installed in /etc/ceph. Is there some other make target I need to run? The INSTALL file in the source is not very helpful. Install manually? Where is the init.d script? (.../src/ceph is a binary.) 2) Do I need a kernel client? Its not clear to me from the wiki what the role of the kernel module is. Do I need the kernel client for client access only? From a previous post I inferred that one could use fuse for client access, is that correct? 3) I assume I need to install the user-space portion of ceph on all machines? Or do we differentiate between ceph user-space servers on on "server" machines and the kernel client for 'client' access. 4) Is there some other documentation that explains bringing up ceph for the first time? Everything I find is vectored to the wiki. Clearly I am missing the larger picture on how to install. Thanks in advance for any info.
