[ceph-users] Re: Can ceph-volume manage the LVs optionally used for DB / WAL at all?

Hi, 1) I am mostly asking about an non-cephadm environment and would just like to know if ceph-volume can also manage the VG of a DB/WAL device that is used for multiple OSD and create the individual LVs which are used for DB or WAL devices when creating a single OSD. Below you give an
