That did it, thanks! It seems like something that should be better documented and/or handled automatically when replacing drives. And yeah, I know I don’t have to reapply my OSD spec, but doing so can be faster than waiting for the cluster to get around to it. Thanks again.

You don't need to reapply your osd spec, it will detect the available space on the nvme and redploy that OSD.

I'm replacing some of the OSDs. After they've been removed with the dashboard equivalent of "ceph orch osd rm # --replace" and a new drive has been swapped in, how do I get the OSD recreated using the chunk of NVMe for DB/WAL storage? Because the NVMe has data and is still in use by other OSDs, the orchestrator doesn't seem to recognize it as a valid storage location, so it won't create the OSDs when I do "ceph orch apply -i osdspec.yml".
