This is absolutely going to be a problem for you if I understand that these are handled by ceph-volume, in which case it reads from these tags to be able to bring up the OSD. > * I changed the ceph.db_device= tag, but there is also a ceph.db_uuid= > tag which was not changed, and may or may not trigger a problem upon > reboot (I don't know if this UUID is part of the dd'ed data) For sure you can get into a situation where ceph-volume needs one of these and can't find it and then it breaks. > > You effectively helped a lot!
