That is a good question, and I'm not sure how to answer. The journal is on its own volume, and is not a symlink. Also how does one flush the journal? That seems like an important step when bringing down a cluster safely.

You only need to flush the journal if you are removing it from the osd, replacing it with a different journal.

So since your journal is on its own, then you need either a symlink in the osd directory named "journal" which points to the device (ideally not /dev/sdx but /dev/disk/by-.../), or you put it in the ceph.conf.

And since it said you have a non-block journal now, it probably means there is a file... you should remove that (rename it to journal.junk until you're sure it's not an important file, and delete it later).

Quick update. So I'm trying out the procedure as documented here.

So far I've:

1. Stopped ceph-mds
2. set noout, norecover, norebalance, nobackfill
3. Stopped all ceph-osd
4. Stopped ceph-mon
5. Installed new OS
6. Started ceph-mon
7. Started all ceph-osd

This is where I've stopped. All but one OSD came back online. One has this backtrace:

2017-02-28 17:44:54.884235 7fb2ba3187c0 -1 journal FileJournal::_open: disabling aio for non-block journal.  Use journal_force_aio to force use of aio anyway
Are the journals inline? or separate? If they're separate, the above means the journal symlink/config is missing, so it would possibly make a new journal, which would be bad if you didn't flush the old journal before.

And also just one osd is easy enough to replace (which I wouldn't do until the cluster settled down and recovered). So it's lame for it to be broken, but it's still recoverable if that's the only issue.
