this is what I did now:
ceph osd set noout
service ceph stop osd.X
umount /dev/sdX1
mkfs.xfs -f -i size=2048 /dev/sdX1 -L osd.X
vim /etc/fstab # edit line for /dev/sdX1
mount /dev/sdX1
ceph-osd -i X --mkfs --mkkey --mkjournal
ceph auth add osd.X osd 'allow *' mon 'allow rwx' -i
/var/lib/ceph/osd/ceph-X/keyring
service ceph start osd.X
seems to work so far, the OSD is busy retrieving data - and I didn't have to
wait for the OSD to become empty.
cheers
