Ignore the kdump comment the kernel didn't crash only Ceph-mon. I'll save that portion of the Ceph-mon log.

I learn a lot more when I break things and have to figure out what went wrong so its a little frustrating, but I've found out a lot about verifying the configuration and debug options so far. My intent is to investigate rbd usage, perf, and configuration options.
