ceph-volume
===========
Deploy OSDs with different device technologies like lvm or physical disks using
pluggable tools (:doc:`lvm/index` itself is treated like a plugin). It tries to
follow the workflow of ``ceph-disk`` for deploying OSDs, with a predictable,
and robust way of preparing, activating, and starting OSDs.

**Command Line Subcommands**
Although currently there is support for ``lvm``, the plan is to support other
technologies, including plain disks.
