yes, is there a working way to migrate this I will have a try it.

I think it is not that problem to create the json files by myself.
Moving the Keys to the monitors and creating appropriate auth-keys
should be more or less easy as well.

The problem I see is, that there are individual keys for the journal
and data partition while the new process useses only one key for both
partitions. 

maybe I can recreate the journal partition with the other key. But is
this possible? Are there important data ramaining on the journal after
clean stopping the OSD which I cannot throw away without trashing the
whole OSD?
