Hello, After patching my OSD servers with the latest Centos kernel and rebooting the nodes, all OSD drives moved to different positions. Before the reboot: Systemdisk: /dev/sda Journaldisk: /dev/sdb OSD disk 1: /dev/sdc OSD disk 2: /dev/sdd OSD disk 3: /dev/sde After the reboot: Systemdisk: /dev/sde journaldisk: /dev/sdb OSD disk 1: /dev/sda OSD disk 2: /dev/sdc OSD disk 3: /dev/sdd The result was that the OSD didn't start at boot-up and I had to manually activate them again. After rebooting OSD node 1 I checked the state of the Ceph cluster before rebooting node number 2. I found that the disks were not online and I needed to fix this. In the end I was able to do all the upgrades etc, but this was a big surprise to me. My idea to fix this is to use the Disk UUID instead of the dev name (/dev/disk/by-uuid/<uuid> instead of /dev/sda) when activating the disk. But I really don't know if this is possible. Could anyone tell me if I can prevent this issue in the future? -- Met vriendelijke groet / Best regards, Jan Hugo Prins Infra and Isilon storage consultant Better.be B.V.
