Buddy, There are significant changes between mkcephfs and ceph-deploy. The mkcephfs script is fairly antiquated now and you should be using ceph-deploy or some other method of deployment in our newer releases. The mkcephfs script would read the ceph.conf file during deployment and bootstrap monitors from information gleaned in ceph.conf. We don't deploy Ceph that way anymore. The ceph.conf file is a great place to put configuration settings, but it's not what we use for deployment now. One of the reasons for that change is to ensure consistency requirements. If you read http://ceph.com/docs/master/rados/operations/add-or-rm-mons/#changing-a-monitor-s-ip-address you can see why we made some of these changes. Monitors find other monitors using the monmap, not ceph.conf. You can view your runtime configuration. See http://ceph.com/docs/master/rados/configuration/ceph-conf/#viewing-a-configuration-at-runtime You can also make runtime changes. http://ceph.com/docs/master/rados/configuration/ceph-conf/#runtime-changes To understand what mkcephfs and ceph-deploy are doing, you can look at a manual process for bootstrapping a cluster here: http://ceph.com/docs/master/install/manual-deployment/ I hope this helps.
