The most simple ceph.conf I can think about, is the following: [global] auth supported = none [mon] mon data = /ceph/mon$id [mon0] host = {hostname} mon addr = 127.0.0.1:6789 [osd] osd data = /ceph/osd\$id [osd0] host = {hostname} btrfs devs = {devicename} Replace {hostname} with your `hostname -s` and {devicename} with the name of an empty volume. Create a directory for the monitor and a mountpoint for the osd volume: # mkdir -p /ceph/mon0 # mkdir -p /ceph/osd0 After you have created the ceph.conf file, you can create your ceph-filesystem with the following command (attention - this will format the configured volume): # mkcephfs -c /etc/ceph/ceph.conf --mkbtrfs -a Now you should be able to start ceph (assuming you are using the redhat rpm): # service ceph start Check if ceph is running with `ceph -w` or `rados df`. `qemu-img create -f rbd rbd:data/test.img 4G` should work now, too.
