doc swift service start issues with no ring
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
fixes bug 996944

As in the bug report, users following this guide exactly
will encounter a failed service start at this point in the
manual. This isn't a big problem - the ring files just need to be
copied first.

Rather than significantly changing the flow of the docs, this change
adds a simple warning so that first-time users aren't alarmed.

<warning><title>Don't Panic</title><para> If you are
following these instructions in a linear manner, at this
point the ring files may not be present on the storage
nodes. This may cause some of the services such as the
*-replicator to fail to start. After you have created the
ring files and distributed them to the storage nodes, a
service restart should allow these to start.
