A bug was just opened for this inthe tracker. However, I believe you can
work around it be editing the ceph.conf (before pushing it out to the OSDs)
and specifying "fs type = btrfs" in the OSD section.

On Ubuntu you should be using Upstart to manage the processes. "sudo stop
ceph-osd id=<num>", iirc.

Hmm, I think that's so they can do pings to measure the health of both
interfaces.

I'm not sure about the gateway; somebody else will have to pick that up! :)
