Create Ceph Bluestore:

ceph-volume lvm create --bluestore --data /dev/fioa

Note: will get an error 'unable to find keyring'. See Proxmox/Fix Keyring to fix first.

If you need to rebuild the bluestore, you will need to first destroy it:

ceph-volume lvm zap /dev/fioa --destroy

Also create this udev rule to auto mount your LVM after reboots, or your OSDs won't be happy after reboots.

Generally:

• gen1 (iodrive 1) drive will need vsl version 2 - not available anymore
• gen2 (iodrive 2) drive will need vsl version 3
• gen3 (iodrive 3) drive will need vsl version 4
