You can specify another disk device to store the external log for the XFS file system, similar to the following command:
mkfs.xfs -l logdev=/dev/nvme0n1p2,size=10000b /dev/nvme0n1p3
Using the dd command, you can copy the first sector of /dev/nvme0n1p2 to any sector between 17 and 512 of the
Ceph BlueStore file system for disk device A, for example, sector 51. After performing this action, a problem occurs where an additional file system,
efs_external_log, is created on the disk device A originally used for Ceph BlueStore.
This leads to udev errors and the loss of the disk device A's partlabel. for example
blkid -o udev -p /dev/xxxx
ID_FS_AMBIVALIENT=other:ceph_blueStore other:efs_external_log
Ceph BlueStore file system for Disk device A is exposed as a block device for users to use as a cloud disk.
Users can create an XFS External Log on it.
