That's what I was trying to do, however, the quick start page ends with "When your cluster echoes back HEALTH_OK, you may begin using Ceph." and that doesn't happen with one host: you get "384 pgs stuck unclean" instead of "HEALTH_OK". To me that means I may *not* begin using ceph. I did run "ceph osd pool set ... size 1" on each of the 3 default pools, verified that it took with "ceph osd dump | grep 'rep size'", and gave it a good half hour to settle. I still got "384 pgs stuck unclean" from "ceph health". So I re-done it with 2 OSDs and got the expected HEALTH_OK right from the start. John, a) a note saying "if you have only one OSD you won't get HEALTH_OK until you add another one; you can start using the cluster" may be a useful addition to the quick start, b) more importantly, if there are any plans to write more quickstart pages, I'd love to see the "add another OSD (MDS, MON) to an existing pool in 5 minutes".
