OK, found it. The second line in the error messages actually gives it away: stderr: 2021-02-06 13:48:27.477 7f46756b4b80 -1 bdev(0x561db199c700 /var/lib/ceph/osd/ceph-342//block) _aio_start io_setup(2) failed with EAGAIN; try increasing /proc/sys/fs/aio-max-nr On my system, the default is rather small: # sysctl fs.aio-max-nr fs.aio-max-nr = 65536 Seemingly not a problem for ceph-disk OSDs: # sysctl fs.aio-nr fs.aio-nr = 32768 However, LVM OSDs seem to be quite hungry. Increasing the value to sysctl -w fs.aio-max-nr=1048576 solved it for me. Should have read it more carefully.

My observations: I'm running into the exact same issue on mimic 13.2.10. The strange thing is, that some OSDs get created and others fail. I can't see a pattern here. I have 1 host where every create worked out and another where half failed. The important lines in the log are probably: stderr: 2021-02-06 13:48:27.477 7f46756b4b80 -1 bluestore(/var/lib/ceph/osd/ceph-342/) _read_fsid unparsable uuid stderr: 2021-02-06 13:48:27.477 7f46756b4b80 -1 bdev(0x561db199c700 /var/lib/ceph/osd/ceph-342//block) _aio_start io_setup(2) failed with EAGAIN; try increasing /proc/sys/fs/aio-max-nr stderr: 2021-02-06 13:48:27.477 7f46756b4b80 -1 bluestore(/var/lib/ceph/osd/ceph-342/) mkfs failed, (11) Resource temporarily unavailable stderr: 2021-02-06 13:48:27.477 7f46756b4b80 -1 OSD::mkfs: ObjectStore::mkfs failed with error (11) Resource temporarily unavailable stderr: 2021-02-06 13:48:27.477 7f46756b4b80 -1 [0;31m ** ERROR: error creating empty object store in /var/lib/ceph/osd/ceph-342/: (11) Resource temporarily unavailable[0m I really need to get a decent number of disks up very soon. Any help is appreciated. I can provide more output if that helps.
