wouldn't it be possible to detect on creation that it is a full physical disk that gets initialized completely by ceph-volume, store that in the metadata somewhere and clean up accordingly when destroying the OSD? > > The 'zap' sub-command will allow that lv to be reused for an OSD and > that should work.
