Hi,
My background is that ceph-volume activate does not work on non-systemd Linux distributions
Why not using the --no-systemd option during the ceph-volume activate command? The systemd part is only enabling and starting the service but the tmpfs part should work if you're not using systemd https://github.com/ceph/ceph/blob/master/src/ceph-volume/ceph_volume/devices...

The best questions are the ones that one can answer oneself. The great documentation on
https://docs.ceph.com/en/latest/dev/ceph-volume/lvm/
gives the right pointers. The right search term is "lvm list tags" and results into something like this:
[15:56:04] server20.place6:~# lvs -o lv_tags /dev/sda: open failed: No medium found /dev/sdb: open failed: No medium found LV Tags ceph.block_device=/dev/ceph-26fdb7c4-17af-42af-8353- 06d95b0071c7/osd-block-bb63e9b6-b2d7-40d1-83ee-815262ae8b45,...
If anyone is interested in upstream ceph-volume support for non-systemd Linux distributions to activate the ceph-osds, let me know.
In any case, we'll publish our new style scripts on [0].
Best regards,
Nico

Good morning,
is there any documentation available regarding the meta data stored within LVM that ceph-volume manages / creates?
My background is that ceph-volume activate does not work on non-systemd Linux distributions, but if I know how to recreate the tmpfs, we can easily start the osd without systemd.
Any pointers in the right direction are appreciated.
Best regards,
Nico
