I have a 3-node Ceph cluster, with a mixture of Intel Optane 905P PCIe
disks, and normal SATA SSD drives.

I want to create two Ceph pools, one with only the Optane disks, and the
other with only the SATA SSDs.

When I checked "ceph osd tree", all the drives had device class "ssd".

As a hack - I was able to change the device class for the Optane drives to
"nvme", and leave the SATA SSDs as "ssd".

I then created crush rules based on device classes.

However, what if I don't want to overload device classes to achieve this,
or have more than two models of disks?

Is there an easy way to assign specific drives of a model/type/capacity to
different pools?
It's already simple way to do that - device classes.

It's like 8021q in networks.
