Dear all,
ceph version: mimic 13.2.10
I'm facing a serious bug with devices converted from "ceph-disk" to "ceph-volume simple". I "converted" all ceph-disk devices using "ceph-volume simple scan ..." And everything worked fine at the beginning. Today I needed to reboot an OSD host and since then most ceph-disk OSDs are screwed up. Apparently, "ceph-volume simple scan ..." creates symlinks to the block partition /dev/sd?2 using the "/dev/sd?2" name for the link target. These names are not stable and are expected to change after every reboot. Now I have a bunch of OSDs with new /dev/sd?2" names that won't boot any more, because this link points to the wrong block partition. Doing another "ceph-volume simple scan ..." doesn't help, it just "rediscovers" the wrong location. Here is what a broken OSD looks like (fresh "ceph-volume simple scan --stdout ..." output):
{
"active": "ok",
"block": {
"path": "/dev/sda2",
"uuid": "b5ac1462-510a-4483-8f42-604e6adc5c9d"
},
"block_uuid": "1d9d89a2-18c7-4610-9dcd-167d44ce1879",
"bluefs": 1,
"ceph_fsid": "e4ece518-f2cb-4708-b00f-b6bf511e91d9",
"cluster_name": "ceph",
"data": {
"path": "/dev/sdb1",
"uuid": "c35a7efb-8c1c-42a1-8027-cf422d7e7ecb"
},
"fsid": "c35a7efb-8c1c-42a1-8027-cf422d7e7ecb",
"keyring": "AQAZJ6ddedALDxAAJI7NLJ2CRFoQWK5STRpHuw==",
"kv_backend": "rocksdb",
"magic": "ceph osd volume v026",
"mkfs_done": "yes",
"none": "",
"ready": "ready",
"require_osd_release": "",
"type": "bluestore",
"whoami": 241
}
OSD 241's data partition looks like this (after mount /dev/sdb1 /var/lib/ceph/osd/ceph-241):
[root@ceph-adm:ceph-18 ceph-241]# ls -l /var/lib/ceph/osd/ceph-241

The symlink "block -> /dev/sda2" goes to the wrong disk. How can I fix that in a stable way? Also, why are not stable "/dev/disk/by-uuid/..." link targets created instead? Can I change that myself?
