Bug Description

Ceph expects all OSDs to be in /var/lib/ceph/osd we currently overwrite this with /srv/data.

Ceph is able to deal with this by creating symbolic links to /var/lib/ceph/osd but there is really no reason to change the default. The current specified directory is also really generic by the name and does not give admin direct indication what it is used for.

As the symbolic links are created on the nodes, changing this to the default /var/lib/ceph/osd should not affect the upgrade.

currently we have in /var/lib/ceph/osd a number of symlinks (eg /var/lib/ceph/osd/ceph-0) for each dir-based osd path

is this really an issue?

There are questions around the upgrade impact of this change, deferring to n-3 and we can discuss either here or on the review.

I think the only problem with this is the SELinux label applied on /srv/data.

In theory we want puppet-ceph to label the data path correctly as we don't know in advance which one it will be. This is tracked via https://bugs.launchpad.net/puppet-ceph/+bug/1611893 .

In addition to that, we're trying to add in ceph-selinux /srv/data as a default path so labeling won't be needed. Swift does the same with /srv/node path.

I think we can "close" this as soon as one the above is resolved.
