Hi Loic,

The RHCS product is using the legacy sysvinit scripts that are upstream.
I doubt we'll use systemd unit files to manage the services in RHCS
until those land upstream and get a lot of testing there.

There is a ticket to track the incorporation of systemd unit files for
the services, here: http://tracker.ceph.com/issues/11344 . That ticket
has some more details regarding the current situation upstream.

From what I recall, both SUSE and Ubuntu have implemented systemd unit
files downstream for the Ceph MON/OSD/MDS services.
