Ohhhh.... sigh. Thank you very much. That actually makes sense, and isnt so bad after all. Makes me surprised why I got no answers on my prior related question, couple weeks ago, about what the proper way to replace an HDD in a failed hybrid OSD. At least I know now. You guys might consider a feature request of doing some kind of check on long device path names getting passed in, to see if the util should complain to the user, "hey use the other syntax". ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jeff Bailey" <bailey@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: "ceph-users" <ceph-users@xxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, April 5, 2021 1:00:18 PM Subject: Re: bug in ceph-volume create On 4/5/2021 3:49 PM, Philip Brown wrote: > > As soon as you have an HDD fail... you will need to recreate the OSD.. and you are then stuck.

You're specifying the LV incorrectly. Just use --block.db ceph-xx-xx-xx/ceph-osd-db-this-is-the-old-lvm-for-ssd without the /dev at the front. _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list -- ceph-users@xxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to ceph-users-leave@xxxxxxx
