Just a quick note here that ceph-volume has the ability to take over
ceph-disk OSDs, by taking over the systemd units and disable the
somewhat problematic UDEV rules.

http://docs.ceph.com/docs/master/ceph-volume/simple/#ceph-volume-simple

The process is rather simple, and there is support for the various
different OSDs that ceph-disk would create (dmcrypt, plain, etc...)
