Since there is no partition, there is also no type UUID, so the usual udev based autostart mechanisms do not work. Running "ceph-disk activate /dev/bcache0" works fine though. Did you come up with some more clever solutions for this? Also, do you have some experience with broken disks? I'm wondering if one failing disk will affect performance for the others running in the same cache set. _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list ceph-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.ceph.com/listinfo.cgi/ceph-users-ceph.com
