Hi All,
  Is there a way to prepare the drives of multiple OSD and then bring them
into the CRUSH map all at once?

 Right now I'm using:

ceph-deploy --overwrite-conf disk prepare --zap-disk $NODE:$DEV </dev/null
ceph-deploy disk activate $NODE:$DEV </dev/null

and have noticed that each successive format gets slower and slower as the
other OSDs become active on the node.

I'd hoped to keep the OSDs quiet so that the formats would proceed
quickly, then turn them all on at once.

I've tried "ceph osd reweight osdnum 0" for the new OSDs and that appears
to keep them from being written.  However, there are preexisting OSDs on
the node and they start churning like mad, slowing down the formats of the
other drives anyway.  (Looks like my controller cannot actually handle all
drives at maximum usage.)

Thanks for the help!
Chad.
