Sage,
Is this referring to something like this in ceph.conf?
[osd.0]
host = ceph1
[osd.1]
host = ceph1
...
As long as legacy users use something like that, you are saying they
will be good? That seems reasonable to me.
To be clear, with such a change to the init script, moving the OSD in
the CRUSH map would only happen if you built the cluster with
ceph-deploy, right? I thought the information required for that is
added during the disk format/labeling done by ceph-deploy, such as the
Ceph-specific disk label/filesystem ID (probably using the wrong terms
there, haven't looked at it recently).
Regardless, I would be comfortable with a prominent warning on
upgrade, along with the regular notices in release notes, docs, etc.
