Hi Dane, If you deployed with ceph-deploy, you will see that the journal is just a symlink. Take a look at /var/lib/ceph/osd/<osd-id>/journal The link should point to the first partition of your hard drive disk, so no filesystem for the journal, just a block device. Roughly you should try: create N partition on your SSD for your N OSDs ceph osd set noout sudo service ceph stop osd.$ID ceph-osd -i osd.$ID --flush-journal rm -f /var/lib/ceph/osd/<osd-id>/journal ln -s /var/lib/ceph/osd/<osd-id>/journal /dev/<ssd-partition-for-your-journal> ceph-osd -i osd.$ID ?mkjournal sudo service ceph start osd.$ID ceph osd unset noout This should work. Cheers.
