We can certainly do this in a Ceph specific manner via the existing 95-ceph-osd.rules, but my impression was that the by-partuuid symlinks are "owned" by 60-persistent-storage.rules . If you don't think the existence of these symlinks for dm paths will be of use to others then I'll go ahead and propose it as a Ceph only change.
