There are two reasons for having a ceph-disk replace feature.
1. To simplify the steps required to replace a disk
2. To allow a disk to be replaced proactively without causing any data
movement.
So keeping the osd id the same is required and is what motivated the
feature for me.

Hi Loic and cephers,
Sure, I have time to help (comment) on this feature replace a disk.
This is a useful feature to handle disk failure :p
An simple step is described on http://tracker.ceph.com/issues/13732 :
1. set noout flag - if the broken osd is primary osd, could we handle well?
2. stop osd daemon and we need to wait the osd actually down. (or
maybe use deactivate option with ceph-disk)
these two above step seems OK.
about handle crush map, should we remove the broken osd out?
If we do that, why we set noout flag? It still trigger re-balance
after we remove osd from crushmap.
Right--I think you generally want to do either one or the other:
1) mark osd out, leave failed disk in place. or, replace with new disk
that re-uses the same osd id.
or,
2) remove osd from crush map. replace with new disk (which gets new osd
id).
I think re-using the osd id is awkward currently, so doing 1 and replacing
the disk ends up moving data twice.
