See tracker > http://tracker.ceph.com/issues/13732 Yeah, I totally agree. We just need to form an opinion on how... probably starting with the user experience. Ideally we'd go from up + in to down + in to down + out, then pull the drive and replace, and then initialize a new OSD with the same id... and journal partition. Something like ceph-disk recreate id=N uuid=U <osd device path> I.e., it could use the uuid (which the cluster has in the OSDMap) to find (and re-use) the journal device. For a journal failure it'd probably be different.. but maybe not?
