Hi When we deploy new OSD’s we see an issue where the journal symlink to the external path we provided with ceph-deploy is not created, instead ceph-deploy creates a new local journal on the osd itself. Here is the log: Running ceph: 10.2.1 on Centos 7. ceph-deploy osd prepare ceph01-osd02:sdg:/journals/osd.11 [ceph_deploy.conf][DEBUG ] found configuration file at: /home/runceph/.cephdeploy.conf [ceph_deploy.cli][INFO ] Invoked (1.5.33): /bin/ceph-deploy osd prepare ceph01-osd02:sdg:/journals/osd.11 [ceph_deploy.cli][INFO ] ceph-deploy options: [ceph_deploy.cli][INFO ] username : None [ceph_deploy.cli][INFO ] disk : [('ceph01-osd02', '/dev/sdg', '/journals/osd.11')] [ceph_deploy.cli][INFO ] dmcrypt : False [ceph_deploy.cli][INFO ] verbose : False [ceph_deploy.cli][INFO ] bluestore : None [ceph_deploy.cli][INFO ] overwrite_conf : False [ceph_deploy.cli][INFO ] subcommand : prepare [ceph_deploy.cli][INFO ] dmcrypt_key_dir : /etc/ceph/dmcrypt-keys [ceph_deploy.cli][INFO ] quiet : False [ceph_deploy.cli][INFO ] cd_conf : <ceph_deploy.conf.cephdeploy.Conf instance at 0xbce320> [ceph_deploy.cli][INFO ] cluster : ceph [ceph_deploy.cli][INFO ] fs_type : xfs [ceph_deploy.cli][INFO ] func : <function osd at 0xbc0c08> [ceph_deploy.cli][INFO ] ceph_conf : None [ceph_deploy.cli][INFO ] default_release : False [ceph_deploy.cli][INFO ] zap_disk : False [ceph_deploy.osd][DEBUG ] Preparing cluster ceph disks ceph01-osd02:/dev/sdg:/journals/osd.11 [ceph01-osd02][DEBUG ] connection detected need for sudo [ceph01-osd02][DEBUG ] connected to host: ceph01-osd02 [ceph01-osd02][DEBUG ] detect platform information from remote host [ceph01-osd02][DEBUG ] detect machine type [ceph01-osd02][DEBUG ] find the location of an executable [ceph_deploy.osd][INFO ] Distro info: CentOS Linux 7.2.1511 Core [ceph_deploy.osd][DEBUG ] Deploying osd to ceph01-osd02 [ceph01-osd02][DEBUG ] write cluster configuration to /etc/ceph/{cluster}.conf [ceph_deploy.osd][DEBUG ] Preparing host ceph01-osd02 disk /dev/sdg journal /journals/osd.11 activate False [ceph01-osd02][DEBUG ] find the location of an executable [ceph01-osd02][INFO ] Running command: sudo /usr/sbin/ceph-disk -v prepare --cluster ceph --fs-type xfs -- /dev/sdg /journals/osd.11 [ceph01-osd02][WARNIN] command: Running command: /usr/bin/ceph-osd --cluster=ceph --show-config-value=fsid [ceph01-osd02][WARNIN] command: Running command: /usr/bin/ceph-osd --check-allows-journal -i 0 --cluster ceph [ceph01-osd02][WARNIN] command: Running command: /usr/bin/ceph-osd --check-wants-journal -i 0 --cluster ceph [ceph01-osd02][WARNIN] command: Running command: /usr/bin/ceph-osd --check-needs-journal -i 0 --cluster ceph [ceph01-osd02][WARNIN] get_dm_uuid: get_dm_uuid /dev/sdg uuid path is /sys/dev/block/8:96/dm/uuid [ceph01-osd02][WARNIN] command: Running command: /usr/bin/ceph-osd --cluster=ceph --show-config-value=osd_journal_size [ceph01-osd02][WARNIN] get_dm_uuid: get_dm_uuid /dev/sdg uuid path is /sys/dev/block/8:96/dm/uuid [ceph01-osd02][WARNIN] get_dm_uuid: get_dm_uuid /dev/sdg uuid path is /sys/dev/block/8:96/dm/uuid [ceph01-osd02][WARNIN] get_dm_uuid: get_dm_uuid /dev/sdg uuid path is /sys/dev/block/8:96/dm/uuid [ceph01-osd02][WARNIN] command: Running command: /usr/bin/ceph-conf --cluster=ceph --name=osd. --lookup osd_mkfs_options_xfs [ceph01-osd02][WARNIN] command: Running command: /usr/bin/ceph-conf --cluster=ceph --name=osd. --lookup osd_fs_mkfs_options_xfs [ceph01-osd02][WARNIN] command: Running command: /usr/bin/ceph-conf --cluster=ceph --name=osd. --lookup osd_mount_options_xfs [ceph01-osd02][WARNIN] command: Running command: /usr/bin/ceph-conf --cluster=ceph --name=osd. --lookup osd_fs_mount_options_xfs [ceph01-osd02][WARNIN] prepare_file: Creating journal file /journals/osd.11 with size 0 (ceph-osd will resize and allocate) [ceph01-osd02][WARNIN] prepare_file: Journal is file /journals/osd.11 [ceph01-osd02][WARNIN] prepare_file: OSD will not be hot-swappable if journal is not the same device as the osd data [ceph01-osd02][WARNIN] get_dm_uuid: get_dm_uuid /dev/sdg uuid path is /sys/dev/block/8:96/dm/uuid [ceph01-osd02][WARNIN] set_data_partition: Creating osd partition on /dev/sdg [ceph01-osd02][WARNIN] get_dm_uuid: get_dm_uuid /dev/sdg uuid path is /sys/dev/block/8:96/dm/uuid [ceph01-osd02][WARNIN] ptype_tobe_for_name: name = data [ceph01-osd02][WARNIN] get_dm_uuid: get_dm_uuid /dev/sdg uuid path is /sys/dev/block/8:96/dm/uuid [ceph01-osd02][WARNIN] create_partition: Creating data partition num 1 size 0 on /dev/sdg [ceph01-osd02][WARNIN] command_check_call: Running command: /sbin/sgdisk --largest-new=1 --change-name=1:ceph data --partition-guid=1:0f41ea64-cb7c-4fe1-8d29-ba349824629f --typecode=1:89c57f98-2fe5-4dc0-89c1-f3ad0ceff2be --mbrtogpt -- /dev/sdg [ceph01-osd02][DEBUG ] The operation has completed successfully.
