Description

I saw one group put in IP addresses in host=. I saw one person put in long hostnames (with domain).

The sysvinit init script matches against the short hostname (strictly, the hostname up to the first dot, which I think is just wrong so I'd rather not document that in detail -- it'll just confuse people more).

This makes "service ceph -a start" work, but after a reboot, nothing gets started.

mkcephfs docs need to be more explicit about host= values being short hostnames.

Also, note that the host= field is only for mkcephfs&sysvinit. When using chef or ceph-deploy, it must not be used.
