.. _ceph-volume-lvm-create:
``create``
===========
This subcommand wraps the two-step process to provision a new osd (calling
``prepare`` first and then ``activate``) into a single
one. The reason to prefer ``prepare`` and then ``activate`` is to gradually
introduce new OSDs into a cluster, and avoiding large amounts of data being
rebalanced.
The single-call process unifies exactly what :ref:`ceph-volume-lvm-prepare` and
:ref:`ceph-volume-lvm-activate` do, with the convenience of doing it all at
once.
There is nothing different to the process except the OSD will become up and in
immediately after completion.
Although initially :term:`filestore` is supported (and supported by default)
the back end can be specified with:
* :ref:`--filestore <ceph-volume-lvm-prepare_filestore>`
* ``--bluestore``
.. when available, this will need to be updated to:
.. * :ref:`--bluestore <ceph-volume-create_bluestore>`
All command line flags and options are the same as ``ceph-volume lvm prepare``.
Please refer to :ref:`ceph-volume-lvm-prepare` for details.
