Extend should erase_on_boot

Open jbspeakr opened this issue 7 years ago • 1 comments

Currently when extending an existing ring, all user-data gets copied to new instances, including erase_on_boot set to false. this needs to mounting issues during taupage boot, as the new volumes need to get formatted initially.

I would expect this to work slightly different: extending a ring should lead to a status where the new ring is able to operate. hence, this requires initially formatting the nodes and setting erase_on_boot to false after cassandra was setup up correctly.

(Erase on boot should not be added to the metadata alltogether, then the format will be done by taupage once, based on a tag of a volume and this will not require an extra restart.
