Hello Rainer, > And its still now in "down" state. OK, this is the state preventing ceph-volume from recreating the OSD. > I am unsure if a destroy would work because of the old pv that is still > around which is visible in the output of pvs ceph osd destroy is purely an operation at the mon level (which will update the osdmap) and thus the PV will not get in the way. In fact, that stale PV shouldn't cause any problems other than perhaps confusion to those looking at the node. Rebooting the node will get rid of the stale PV, but you may also be able to manually remove it via pvremove; I find lvm pretty fickle when it comes to cleaning up stale state, partially depending on the age of the OS.
