Ceph

init-ceph checks if /var/loc/subsys exists and if it does, tries to create a lock file there. In my case for various reasons I didn't want it to touch the /var directory. Every other place /var was used could be overridden except this one.

I've attached a small patch to init-ceph that adds a config file variable called "lock file". It defaults to the same value that used to be hard-wired.
