Ceph

inconsistencies in by-parttypeuuid in man ceph-disk and also the python script for ceph-disk. Customer believes this should always use correct name to avoid confusion.

e.g. “man ceph-disk” says:
“ activate-all
Activate all tagged OSD partitions. activate-all relies on /dev/disk/by-parttype-uuid/$typeuuid.$uuid to find all partitions. Special udev rules are installed to create these
links. It is triggered on ceph service start or run directly.
“

And the python script also has the incorrect name:

1. grep by-parttype /usr/sbin/*
   /usr/sbin/ceph-disk:activate-all relies on /dev/disk/by-parttype-uuid/$typeuuid.$uuid to --> Incorrect
   /usr/sbin/ceph-disk: dir = '/dev/disk/by-parttypeuuid' ---> Correct
   /usr/sbin/ceph-disk-udev:mkdir p /dev/disk/by-parttypeuuid -> Correct
   /usr/sbin/ceph-disk-udev:ln -sf ../../${NAME} /dev/disk/by-parttypeuuid/${ID_PART_ENTRY_TYPE}.${ID_PART_ENTRY_UUID}

The correct name is “by-parttypeuuid”, as seen here:

1. ll
