In practice, it's not a big deal. Just deploy your disks sequentially, and Ceph will sort it out. Sure, you'll waste a bit of time watching data copy to a new disk, only to see it get remapped it to a newer disk. It's a small period of time relative to how long it's going to take to remap to all of the new disks anyway. Ceph handles it fine, and won't lose data. If you still want to, check out the mon osd auto mark new in setting: http://ceph.com/docs/master/rados/configuration/mon-osd-interaction/#configuration-settings Alfredo's comments about a race condition shouldn't apply, because you'll create the OSDs sequentially, and only mark them up and in after they're created.
