The simplest way to do that is ceph osd set noout killall ceph-osd .. reboot .. Just remember to do ceph osd unset noout when you are done so that future osds that fail will get marked out on their own after the 5 minute (default) interval. sage -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe ceph-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
