I'm using the tip of luminous and encountering an inconsistent problem with journals (using filestore). The deployment goes well, the single OSD comes up and everything goes well. After rebooting I can find that the OSD fails to start. The logs complain like this: Aug 24 20:33:06 ceph-osd0 ceph-osd[17772]: 2017-08-24 20:33:06.415820 7fbb10a08e00 -1 journal FileJournal::open: ondisk fsid 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 doesn't match expected 56501dc6-6c0a-482f-8252-4406705f1b67, invalid (someone else's?) journal Aug 24 20:33:06 ceph-osd0 ceph-osd[17772]: 2017-08-24 20:33:06.415952 7fbb10a08e00 -1 filestore(/var/lib/ceph/osd/ceph-0) mount(1821): failed to open journal /var/lib/ceph/osd/ceph-0/journal: (22) Invalid argument Aug 24 20:33:06 ceph-osd0 ceph-osd[17772]: 2017-08-24 20:33:06.416625 7fbb10a08e00 -1 osd.0 0 OSD:init: unable to mount object store Aug 24 20:33:06 ceph-osd0 ceph-osd[17772]: 2017-08-24 20:33:06.416632 7fbb10a08e00 -1 ** ERROR: osd init failed: (22) Invalid argument At this point /var/lib/ceph/osd/ceph-0 is mounted, with ceph:ceph as owner, and the journal is linked too.
