howdy, y'all.

we are testing ceph and all of its features. we love RBD! however cephFS,
though clearly stated not production ready, has been stonewalling us. in an
attempt to get rolling quickly, we followed some guides on CephFS (
http://goo.gl/BmVxG, http://goo.gl/1VtNk).

when i mount CephFS, i can:
1) create a file with contents on clientA;
2) list the folder and see the file on clientB and clientC;
3) pull up the exact same xattr's on that file across all clients.

however, as soon as i try to modify or view the contents of the file,
ubuntu 12.04 says "operation not permitted". only clientA, which made the
file, can try to view it's contents, but when clientA does so the file
appears empty. a remount of the share on any client makes no difference.
for what it is worth, xattrs don't change upon remount.

what in the world are we doing wrong?

cephx is enabled. works great for RBD. our ceph auth command for cephFS
user:
ceph auth get-or-create client.cephfs mds 'allow *' mon 'allow r' osd
'allow rwx pool=cephfs'

we are allowing ceph to determine what pool to use, which i think defaults
to 0/"data".

mount command:
mount -t ceph 10.0.10.53:6789:/  /mnt/test/  -o
name=cephfs,secretfile=/etc/ceph/client.cephfs,noatime

mount path exists; permissions are consistent across all clients.
"/etc/ceph/client.cephfs" is populated with the output of "ceph auth
print-key client.cephfs".

all my clients are currently ubuntu 12.04 LTS within virtual machines. our
company has not dedicated physical servers to this project.

kernel for all clients:
Linux os-comp2 3.5.0-30-generic #51~precise1-Ubuntu SMP Wed May 15 08:48:19
UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

xattrs for test file (removed the hex code):
# xattr -l testfile
ceph.file.layout:
chunk_bytes=4194304.stripe_count=1.object_size=4194304.
ceph.layout:
chunk_bytes=4194304.stripe_count=1.object_size=4194304.

validating ceph actually created the file, in lue of
http://tracker.ceph.com/issues/2753 :
# cephfs testfile show_location
location.file_offset:  0
location.object_offset:0
location.object_no:    0
location.object_size:  4194304
location.object_name:  10000000000.00000000
location.block_offset: 0
location.block_size:   4194304
location.osd:          4

"But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet
sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, having now been justified by
His blood, we shall be saved from the wrath of God through Him." Romans
5:8-9
*All *have sinned, broken God's law, and deserve eternal torment. Jesus
Christ, the Son of God, died for the sins of those that will believe,
purchasing our salvation, and defeated death so that we all may spend
eternity in heaven. Do you desire freedom from hell and be with God in His
love for eternity?
"If you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart
that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved." Romans 10:9
