If using mkcephfs, you can just give it a "devs" option. I"m pretty sure this changed in bobtail (0.56). I just setup a cluster on 0.56.1, and used the following. Worked like a charm: [osd] osd mkfs type = xfs osd mkfs options xfs = "-f" osd mount options xfs = "rw,noatime,inode64,logbufs=8,logbsize=256k" [osd.0] host = ceph1 devs = /dev/sdc osd journal = /dev/sda5 [osd.1] host = ceph1 devs = /dev/sdd osd journal = /dev/sda6 A generic example is in the docs, here: http://ceph.com/docs/master/rados/configuration/ceph-conf/#example-ceph-conf Remember to use --mkfs when using mkcephfs.
