Description
ceph-volume-systemd is a systemd helper tool that receives input from (dynamically created) systemd units
so that activation of OSDs can proceed.
It translates the input into a system call to ceph-volume for activation purposes only.
Examples
Its input is the systemdinstancename (represented by %i in a systemd unit), and it should be in the
following format:
<ceph-volume subcommand>-<extra metadata>
In the case of lvm a call could look like:
/usr/bin/ceph-volume-systemd lvm-0-8715BEB4-15C5-49DE-BA6F-401086EC7B41
Which in turn will call ceph-volume in the following way:
ceph-volume lvm trigger 0-8715BEB4-15C5-49DE-BA6F-401086EC7B41
Any other subcommand will need to have implemented a trigger command that can consume the extra metadata
in this format.
