The best questions are the ones that one can answer oneself.
The great documentation on

https://docs.ceph.com/en/latest/dev/ceph-volume/lvm/

gives the right pointers. The right search term is "lvm list tags" and
results into something like this:

[15:56:04] server20.place6:~# lvs -o lv_tags
  /dev/sda: open failed: No medium found
  /dev/sdb: open failed: No medium found
  LV Tags
  
ceph.block_device=/dev/ceph-26fdb7c4-17af-42af-8353-06d95b0071c7/osd-block-bb63e9b6-b2d7-40d1-83ee-815262ae8b45,...

If anyone is interested in upstream ceph-volume support for non-systemd
Linux distributions to activate the ceph-osds, let me know.

In any case, we'll publish our new style scripts on [0].

Best regards,

Nico
