Create a partition and make it an OSD
// Ceph

Note: it is similar to Creating a Ceph OSD from a designated disk partition but simpler.
In a nutshell, to use the remaining space from /dev/sda and assuming Ceph is already configured in /etc/ceph/ceph.conf it is enough to:

$ sgdisk --largest-new=$PARTITION --change-name="$PARTITION:ceph data" \    --partition-guid=$PARTITION:$OSD_UUID \    --typecode=$PARTITION:$PTYPE_UUID -- /dev/sda  $ partprobe  $ ceph-disk prepare /dev/sda$PARTITION  $ ceph-disk activate /dev/sda$PARTITION  

The /etc/ceph/ceph.conf is assumed to contain the IP of the monitors and instructions to automatically set the location of a new OSD:

osd_crush_update_on_start = 1  osd_crush_location = datacenter=ovh  

Let say the /dev/sda disk has spare space and is configured with GPT:

$ sgdisk --print /dev/sda  Disk /dev/sda: 3907029168 sectors, 1.8 TiB  Logical sector size: 512 bytes  Disk identifier (GUID): E409D145-0A08-4768-A6A0-9E5C68265944  Partition table holds up to 128 entries  First usable sector is 34, last usable sector is 3907029134  Partitions will be aligned on 2048-sector boundaries  Total free space is 2801113197 sectors (1.3 TiB)    Number  Start (sector)    End (sector)  Size       Code  Name     1            4096        40962047   19.5 GiB    FD00  Linux RAID     2        40962048        57343999   7.8 GiB     8200  Linux swap     3        57344000      1105919999   500.0 GiB   8E00  Linux LVM  

A random UUID is computed and set to an environment variable to uniquely identify the new OSD:

OSD_UUID=$(uuidgen -r)  

The typecode designating a Ceph data disk is set to another environment variable:

PTYPE_UUID=4fbd7e29-9d25-41b8-afd0-062c0ceff05d  

A partition number is chosen to be the next one available and also set to an environment variable:

PARTITION=4  

The new partition is created with:

$ sgdisk --largest-new=$PARTITION --change-name="$PARTITION:ceph data" \    --partition-guid=$PARTITION:$OSD_UUID \    --typecode=$PARTITION:$PTYPE_UUID -- /dev/sda  Warning: The kernel is still using the old partition table.  The new table will be used at the next reboot.  The operation has completed successfully.  $ sgdisk --print /dev/sda  Disk /dev/sda: 3907029168 sectors, 1.8 TiB  Logical sector size: 512 bytes  Disk identifier (GUID): E409D145-0A08-4768-A6A0-9E5C68265944  Partition table holds up to 128 entries  First usable sector is 34, last usable sector is 3907029134  Partitions will be aligned on 2048-sector boundaries  Total free space is 4062 sectors (2.0 MiB)    Number  Start (sector)    End (sector)  Size       Code  Name     1            4096        40962047   19.5 GiB    FD00  Linux RAID     2        40962048        57343999   7.8 GiB     8200  Linux swap     3        57344000      1105919999   500.0 GiB   8E00  Linux LVM     4      1105920000      3907029134   1.3 TiB     FFFF  ceph data  

But it will not show up until partprobe is run:

$ ls -l /dev/sda4  ls: cannot access /dev/sda4: No such file or directory  $ partprobe  $ ls -l /dev/sda4  brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 4 May  8 17:34 /dev/sda4  

The partition is prepared (i.e. formatted) as an OSD and the journal will be included in it by default:

$ ceph-disk prepare /dev/sda4  meta-data=/dev/sda4              isize=2048   agcount=32, agsize=10941833 blks           =                       sectsz=512   attr=2, projid32bit=0  data     =                       bsize=4096   blocks=350138641, imaxpct=5           =                       sunit=0      swidth=0 blks  naming   =version 2              bsize=4096   ascii-ci=0  log      =internal log           bsize=4096   blocks=170966, version=2           =                       sectsz=512   sunit=0 blks, lazy-count=1  realtime =none                   extsz=4096   blocks=0, rtextents=0  

It is then activated, meaning the file system is mounted and the OSD daemon running:
