Sorry for the late reply. I deleted my ceph setup I created with ceph-deploy. So I cannot give you the info you requested. Perhaps I will create another setup using some virtual maschines ... I found some time to work on my 'manually' created setup (Wheezy, Ceph Firefly repositories). Everything works fine and after manually creating the empty 'sysvinit' files in the data dirs of the daemons, I am able to start/stop the daemons on the same host. In my opinion the sysvinit files should be mentioned in the manual install section of the documentation. One problem remains: At the moment my ceph.conf file does not contain any configuration for the single daemons, just a [global] section. The docs mention the allhosts switch -a that doesn't work for me. I tried to add daemon specific sections in the config file (host entries), but that made no difference. Is the -a switch still supported for sysvinit? What entries do I have to put into the config to remotely start/stop services? It would be nice to start/stop the ceph cluster from a single host. Thanks in advance. Dieter
