Just for reference, "ceph-volume lvm zap" runs wipefs and also wipes the beginning of the device separately. It should get rid of the GPT partition table. hdparm -z just tells the kernel to re-read it (which should remove any device nodes associated with now-gone partitions). I just checked the wipefs manpage and it seems it does trigger a partition table re-read itself, which would make the hdparm unnecessary. It might be useful if you can check that the partition devices (sda1 etc) exist before the zap command and disappear after it, confirming that hdparm is not necessary. And if they still exist, then run hdparm, and if they persist after that too, something's wrong and you should investigate. GPT partition tables can be notoriously annoying to wipe because there is a backup at the end of the device, but wipefs *should* know about that as far as I know. -- Hector Martin (hector@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) Public Key: https://mrcn.st/pub _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list ceph-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.ceph.com/listinfo.cgi/ceph-users-ceph.com
