initial code repo
This patch creates initial code repo. For ceph, luminous stable release will be used for base code, and next changes and optimization for ceph will be added to it. For opensds, currently any changes can be upstreamed into original opensds repo (https://github.com/opensds/opensds), and so stor4nfv will directly clone opensds code to deploy stor4nfv environment. And the scripts for deployment based on ceph and opensds will be put into 'ci' directory. Change-Id: I46a32218884c75dda2936337604ff03c554648e4 Signed-off-by: Qiaowei Ren <qiaowei.ren@intel.com>

+
+LVM
+===
+The backend of ``ceph-volume lvm`` is LVM, it relies heavily on the usage of
+tags, which is a way for LVM to allow extending its volume metadata. These
+values can later be queried against devices and it is how they get discovered
+later.
+
+.. warning:: These APIs are not meant to be public, but are documented so that
+ it is clear what the tool is doing behind the scenes. Do not alter
+ any of these values.
+
+
+.. _ceph-volume-lvm-tag-api:
+
+Tag API
+-------
+The process of identifying logical volumes as part of Ceph relies on applying
+tags on all volumes. It follows a naming convention for the namespace that
+looks like::
+
+ ceph.<tag name>=<tag value>
+
+All tags are prefixed by the ``ceph`` keyword do claim ownership of that
+namespace and make it easily identifiable. This is how the OSD ID would be used
+in the context of lvm tags::
+
+ ceph.osd_id=0
+
+
+.. _ceph-volume-lvm-tags:
+
+Metadata
+--------
+The following describes all the metadata from Ceph OSDs that is stored on an
+LVM volume:
+
+
+``type``
+--------
+Describes if the device is a an OSD or Journal, with the ability to expand to
+other types when supported (for example a lockbox)
+
+Example::
+
+ ceph.type=osd
+
+
+``cluster_fsid``
+----------------
+Example::
+
+ ceph.cluster_fsid=7146B649-AE00-4157-9F5D-1DBFF1D52C26
+
+``data_device``
+---------------
+Example::
+
+ ceph.data_device=/dev/ceph/data-0
+
+``journal_device``
+------------------
+Example::
+
+ ceph.journal_device=/dev/ceph/journal-0
+
+``encrypted``
+-------------
+Example for enabled encryption with ``luks``::
+
+ ceph.encrypted=luks
+
+For plain dmcrypt::
+
+ ceph.encrypted=dmcrypt
+
+For disabled encryption::
+
+ ceph.encrypted=0
+
+``osd_fsid``
+------------
+Example::
+
+ ceph.osd_fsid=88ab9018-f84b-4d62-90b4-ce7c076728ff
+
+``osd_id``
+----------
+Example::
+
+ ceph.osd_id=1
+
+``block``
+---------
+Just used on :term:`bluestore` backends.
+
+Example::
+
+ ceph.block=/dev/mapper/vg-block-0
+
+``db``
+------
+Just used on :term:`bluestore` backends.
+
+Example::
+
+ ceph.db=/dev/mapper/vg-db-0
+
+``wal``
+-------
+Just used on :term:`bluestore` backends.
+
+Example::
+
+ ceph.wal=/dev/mapper/vg-wal-0
+
+
+``lockbox_device``
+------------------
+Only used when encryption is enabled, to store keys in an unencrypted
+volume.
+
+Example::
+
+ ceph.lockbox_device=/dev/mapper/vg-lockbox-0
