When I had to change a few drives manually, copying the old contents over, I noticed that the logical volumes are tagged with lots of information related to how they should be handled at boot time by the OSD startup system. These LVM tags are a good standard way to add that meta-data within the volumes themselves. Apparently, there is no other way to add these tags that allow for bluestore/filestore, SATA/SAS/NVMe, whole drive or partition, etc. They are easy to manage and fail-safe in many configurations. > Sent from my iPhone > > > On Jul 22, 2018, at 6:31 AM, Marc Roos <m.r...@f1-outsourcing.eu> > > wrote: > > > > > > > > I don’t think it will get any more basic than that.
