I've seen this before too. CentOS starts up without networking on by default. In my case, the problem was that the monitors cannot form a quorum and OSDs cannot find each other or monitors. Hence, you get that broken pipe error. You either need to have the networking start on startup before the OSDs, or start ceph after you boot up and ensure the network is running properly. The nodes have to be able to reach each other for Ceph to work. As for Ubuntu, I believe the networking is on by default.
