Sounds good to me.  Do you mind submitting a patch that prints a warning 
from either FileStore::_detect_fs()?  That will appear in the local 
ceph-osd.NNN.log.

Alternatively, we should send something to the cluster log 
(osd->clog.warning() << "...") but if we go that route we need to be 
careful that the logger it up and running first, which (I think) rules out 
FileStore::_detect_fs().  It could go in OSD itself although that seems 
less clean since the recommendation probably doesn't apply when 
using a backend that doesn't use a file system...

Thanks!
