User description

Symptoms:

  • A disk is used by an OSD
  • The OSD is not longer useful and the disk is cleared
  • The disk is prepared for a new OSD
  • The new OSD is prepared but does not activate

Diagnostic:

  • The OSD is not activated because the /dev/disk/by-partuuid symbolic link is not updated by udev.

Workaround:

  • Reboot the machine

Fix:

  • When the disk is cleared via ceph-disk zap (which is called indirectly by ceph-deploy zap), it must notify the kernel via partprobe or partx.
