In storage world it's often recommended to disable transparent hugepages
as they will tend to lower performance.
Note that this change won't survive reboot. There are several ways to
disable this permanently such as:
* rc.local
* grub boot line
It's a bit tricky to do this in Ansible since it really depends on the
OS you're running on.

Default behavior is to fail if a variable is not declared however this
can be disable in your ansible.cfg so we force this variable as
mandatory.

Current known issue, since ceph.conf gets modified during every single
run (at the end during the merge) so this will restart ceph daemons.

It has becomes really anoying to manually generate an fsid prior to the
inital bootstrap. This commit introduces a method that auto-generates an
fsid. If for whatever reasons you want to force your own fsid you can
simply edit these 3 files and override the fsid variable:
- roles/ceph-common/vars/main.yml
- roles/ceph-mon/vars/main.yml
- roles/ceph-osd/vars/main.yml

- We don’t need ceph-extra for trusty
- Enable multiverse repo for access to libapache2-mod-fastcgi
- Update cache before attempting to install packages to register
multiverse repo and only refresh cache once an hour to avoid delays in
the playbook
- Add wildcard to disabling default site as on Ubuntu it is 000_default
by…default
While running big boxes with 72 disks it's easy to get out of PID for
all the threads needed by Ceph. Increasing the default value removes
this limitation.

In ceph-common you load {{ ansible_managed }} at the top of the main
config file - this will trigger handlers on that file whenever an
Ansible run is made.
I'd suggest replacing it with a vanilla text comment 'managed by
Ansible' to warn
admins but avoid unnecessary cluster bounces.

The ceph.conf.j2 template currently always uses the current host facts
to get the IP address of each host in the mon loop. This is not the
expected behavior. This patch uses the correct facts to get the IP.
Recovery and/or re-balancing decrease performance, adding more options
might help tweaking this behavior.

This commits introduces the support of the developpement branches of
Ceph. You can now install Ceph from master.
The behavior is done through 2 new options:
* ceph_stable: true will use the stable branch
* ceph_dev: true will use the dev branch
For the dev packages don't forget to set the branch that you want to
use.

After a change is made on the configuration file we must restart the
Ceph services. I also added a check that verifies if a socker exists
because during the first play there are no services running. We check if
a socket exists, if not we don't try to restart the services, if it
exists we can restart them.

I added a 'ceph-' prefix to all the roles related to Ceph. Since we are
about to push the roles into the Ansible Galaxy that will be easier when
we want to use these roles into a larger environement with other roles.

This commit implements a fourth scenario where we can directely use a
directory instead of a block device for the OSDs. The purpose of this
scenario is more testing-oriented. Please note that we do not check
the filesystem underneath the directory so it is really up to you to
configure this properly. Declaring more than one directory on the
same filesystem will confuse Ceph.

This commit introduces a new config option 'osd crush chooseleaf type'.
With the help of this option and by setting it to '0' we tell Ceph to
store all the replicas on a single host. Basically we tell CRUSH to
iterate over disk and not over host.

since we're now using fsid for the directory name, it should be safe to
just copy the keys from all mon hosts. Once they are copied, the rest of
the hosts will just skip copying. :)
The mon_initial_members is not used since we declare the mon section in
the ceph.conf file. Later, we could reduce the ceph.conf file by only
using the mon_host flag instead of all the mon sections.

Currently everything lives in main.yml, the file has become difficult to

I think we should separate the scenarios into dedicated files and just
do includes in the main.yml file.

As mentionned in the issue 24 it's not really safe to store a default
fsid nor a monitor key. Thus the commit brings the auto-generation of
the initial monitor key. However it is quite complex to do the same for
the fsid, so I leave this to the person in charge of the deployment to
generate one and edit group_vars/all accordingly. The default fsid has
been removed as well.

This brings the support of heterogeneous hardware. Not all the servers
are identical, some have more or less disks than the others. Prior this
commit, the 'parted' command was hanging, now the command simply exits 1
if the device doesn't exist, same for the 'egrep' piped command after.
Then we skip these errors and continue to run. So now, you can specify
multiple devices in group_vars/osds that don't exist on all the
servers.
