I run this command, e.g. "ceph-volume lvm zap --destroy /dev/sdm" when zapping. but I haven't run into any locks since going to nautilus, it seems to know when a disk is dead. Removing an OSD requires you to stop the process, so I can imagine anything was running to that. Perhaps a bad controller, if its LSI and you are using raid 0 drives like a jbod setup, you could blow up the virtual disk. -Brent -----Original Message----- From: Marc Roos <M.Roos@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, September 19, 2020 8:50 AM To: ceph-users <ceph-users@xxxxxxx> Subject: ceph-volume lvm cannot zap???
