Hi guys,
I'm running a ceph cluster using 0.94.9-1trusty release on XFS for RBD only. I'd like to replace some SSDs because they are close to their TBW.
I know I can simply shutdown the OSD, replace the SSD, restart the OSD and ceph will take care of the rest. However I don't want to do it this way, because it leaves my cluster for the time of the rebalance/ backfilling in a degraded state.
I'm thinking about this process:
1. keep old OSD running
2. copy all data from current OSD folder to new OSD folder (using rsync)
3. shutdown old OSD
4. redo step 3 to update to the latest changes
5. restart OSD with new folder
Are there any issues with this approach? Do I need any special rsync flags (rsync -avPHAX --delete-during)?
Thank you!
