you can also test it directly with ceph bench, if the WAL is on the flash device:

Yes, because you did *not* specify a dedicated WAL device. This is also reflected in the OSD metadata:

$ ceph osd metadata 6 | grep dedicated
    "bluefs_dedicated_db": "1",
    "bluefs_dedicated_wal": "0"

Only if you had specified a dedicated WAL device you would see it in the lvm list output, so this is all as expected. You can check out the perf dump of an OSD to see that it actually writes to the WAL:

# ceph daemon osd.6 perf dump bluefs | grep wal
        "wal_total_bytes": 0,
        "wal_used_bytes": 0,
        "files_written_wal": 1588,
        "bytes_written_wal": 1090677563392,
        "max_bytes_wal": 0,

Hello,

but when I try to list devices config with ceph-volume, I can see
a DB devices, but no WAL devices:

Hi,

if you don't specify a different device for WAL it will be automatically
colocated on the same device as the DB. So you're good with this
configuration.

Regards,
Eugen
