Hi all,

I'm testing some scenario's with the new Ceph luminous/bluestore combination.

I've created a demo setup with 3 nodes (each has 10 HDD's and 2 SSD's)
So i created 10 BlueStore OSD's with a seperate 20GB block.db on the
SSD's (5 HDD's per block.db SSD).

I'm testing a failure of one of those SSD's (block.db failure).

With filestore i have used the following blog/script to recover from a
journal SSD failure:

http://ceph.com/no-category/ceph-recover-osds-after-ssd-journal-failure/

I tried to adapt the script to bluestore but i couldn't find any
BlueStore equivalent to the following command (where the journal is
re-created):

sudo ceph-osd –mkjournal -i $osd_id

Tracing the 'ceph-disk prepare' command didn't result in a seperate
command that the BlueStore block.db is initialized. It looks like the
--mkfs switch does all the work (including the data part). Am i
correct?

Is there any way a seperate block.db can be initialized after the OSD
was created? In other words: is it possible to recover from a block.db
failure or do i need to start over?

block.db is probably no equivalent to a FileStore's journal, but what
about block.wal? If i use a seperate block.wal device only will the
--mkjournal command re-initialize that or is the --mkjournal command
only used for FileStore ?

Kind regards and thanks in advance for any reply,
Caspar Smit
