What leads you to say that you can’t wipe the drive? You don’t give us a lot of context re the state of the cluster and the drive right now. * Does `ceph osd tree` show the defunct OSD * Does `ceph auth ls`? * What does `fdsik -l /dev/whatever` show? > > > So i have battled the last days to reclaim my disk. Basically long story short i installed proxmox cluster with a ceph cluster. I reinstalled the proxmox node and didnt remove the osd as you should trough the gui found out later, i tried a bunch of commands like zap the disk wipe the disk and so on. But whatever i do i cannot wipe the ceph disk and i cant seem to wipe the disk so i can reuse the disk. How do you go about wiping a ceph disk when you reinstalled the original OS that had the disk as the OSD. i tried DBAN, i tried ShredOS i tried Dells wipe disk feature but it says its looked. i tried hirens boot and wiping the disk i tried in diskpart in windows to wipe the disk all things fail and i dont get it. Is there no way to reclaim my disk?
