To summarize what I understood: > - delete from GUI simply does a drain+destroy; > - destroy will preserve the OSD id so that it will be used by the next OSD that will be created on that host; > - purge will remove everything, and the next OSD that will be created will use a brand new id. Unless something has changed in recent releases, there are some nuances: Destroying an OSD leaves the OSD ID in the CRUSH map; it may be redeployed with the same ID when done so explicitly (ideally on the same device/slot). That ID will not unless I’m mistaken be used by any new OSD deployment unless specified explicitly. In the general case, OSD creation picks the lowest-numbered unused ID. _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list -- ceph-users@xxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to ceph-users-leave@xxxxxxx
