Hi Alfredo, Why don't we enable the ceph-osd@<id> service during ceph-volume lvm activation? ceph_volume/devices/lvm/activate.py: if no_systemd is False: # enable the ceph-volume unit for this OSD systemctl.enable_volume(osd_id, osd_fsid, 'lvm') # start the OSD systemctl.start_osd(osd_id) Because of this, the ceph-osd.target doesn't really work on lvm activated machines: # systemctl list-dependencies ceph-osd.target ceph-osd.target # and once we stop osds with `systemctl stop ceph-osd.target`, they can no longer be started, i.e. `systemctl start ceph-osd.target` does nothing.
