Just also a bit curious. So it just creates a pv on sda and no partitioning done on sda? -----Original Message----- From: Daniel Sung [mailto:daniel.sung@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: dinsdag 10 december 2019 14:40 To: Philip Brown Cc: ceph-users Subject: Re: sharing single SSD across multiple HD based OSDs It just uses LVM to create a bunch of LVs. It doesn't actually create separate partitions on the block devices. You can run the command and it will give you a preview of what it will do and ask for confirmation.

It will automatically determine which devices are SSD and then automatically partition it for you and share it amongst the HDD OSDs. -- Quadrature Capital daniel.sung@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.quadraturecapital.com Dir: +44-20-3743-0428 Main: +44-20-3743-0400 Fax: +44-20-3743-0401 The Leadenhall Building, 122 Leadenhall Street, London, EC3V 4AB ------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------- Quadrature Capital Limited, a limited company, registered in England and Wales with registered number 09516131, is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.
