It seems to happen when there is some difficulty starting mon services. Once everything is up and running, it doesn't happen (at least for me). I never worked out quite what it was, but I think it was something like the init script starts them, but doesn't kill them under every circumstance where starting a mon fails. Yeah. The ceph-create-keys process is started whenever the monitor is and is responsible for (you guessed it!) creating local copies of the bootstrap-osd, admin, etc keys and putting them in the appropriate location. This requires the local monitor to have joined a cluster, and if there are issues then ceph-create-keys can't connect and just hangs around. As you mention, Alex, it would be good if the init script killed them when the monitor dies and I've created an issue for that: http://tracker.ceph.com/issues/5397 -Greg _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list ceph-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.ceph.com/listinfo.cgi/ceph-users-ceph.com
