Would librbd use one in normal operation? It's a way to send administrative and informational commands directly to a Ceph entity (usually a daemon, but sometimes a client). Almost all the ceph entities create one...osd, mon, mds, client. It's not really "normal" operation, but you can find stats there, and often things like status, version of the software, etc. -- Dan Mick, Filesystem Engineering Inktank Storage, Inc. http://inktank.com Ceph docs: http://ceph.com/docs
