Thanks Greg,
I am starting to understand it better.
I soon realized as well after doing some searching I hit this bug.
http://tracker.ceph.com/issues/5194
Which created the problem upon rebooting.

Thank You,
Scottix

Just as a little more context, ceph-deploy is trying to provide a
reference for how we expect users to manage ceph when using a
configuration management system like Chef. Rather than trying to
maintain a canonical ceph.conf (because let's be clear, there is no
canonical one as far as Ceph is concerned), each host gets the
information it needs in its ceph.conf, and the cluster is put together
dynamically based on who's talking to the monitors.
The reason you aren't seeing individual OSD entries in any of the
configuration files is because the OSDs on a host are actually defined
by the presence of OSD stores in /var/lib/ceph/osd-*. Those daemons
should be activated automatically thanks to the magic of udev and our
init scripts whenever you reboot, plug in a drive which stores an OSD,
etc.
