"I want to try this" sample in USECASES.md fails to apply

[Tim Freund]

I tried to configure a virtual machine using the single machine trial configuration suggested in USECASES.md:

class { 'ceph::conf':
  fsid => generate('/usr/bin/uuidgen'),
  mon_host => $::ipaddress_eth0,
  authentication_type => 'none',
}
ceph::mon { 'a':
  public_addr => $::ipaddress_eth0,
  osd_pool_default_size => 1,
  authentication_type => 'none',
  };
ceph::osd { '/dev/vdb': };

This failed with a syntax error:

Error: Could not parse for environment production: Syntax error at ';' at /tmp/ceph.puppet:10

In addition to the syntax error, it looks like the module has changed slightly since this sample was made. I found that the following passed syntax checks and applied cleanly on a new virtual machine running Ubuntu 14.04:

class { 'ceph':
  fsid => generate('/usr/bin/uuidgen'),
  mon_host => $::ipaddress_eth0,
  authentication_type => 'none',
  osd_pool_default_size => 1,
}

ceph::mon { 'a':
  public_addr => $::ipaddress_eth0,
  authentication_type => 'none',
}

ceph::osd { '/dev/vdb': }

I will submit a patch with this change, and I am willing to make any suggested changes or additions.

Two additional considerations for RHEL and CentOS: The manifest above does not apply cleanly to RHEL or CentOS machines unless the user first installs the xfsprogs package and applies the following puppet code:

class { 'ceph::repo':
}

Ceph isn't available in the default RHEL repositories, and mkfs doesn't include XFS capabilities in a default RHEL installation. I suspect that both of these items may warrant their own bug reports.
