GPT partition tables and cephadm

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi Guillaume, Tim and Adam,

following up on
https://github.com/ceph/ceph/pull/44012#discussion_r758377347 here on
dev@. How do we properly handle GPT tables on devices that are showing
up on ceph-volume inventory?

TLDR: The current behavior of cephadm is to create OSDs on drives with a
GPT partition table, which fails as this drive was used by the host OS.
This clearly doesn't work as we need to find a better way.

Tim, you mentioned that In general ignoring unavailable devices seems to
be a bad idea. My idea was to hide drives with GPT tables from
ceph-volume inventory, but rethinking this, I now think this won't be a
good idea as well.

There is still the possibility to add a special case for GPT tables in
cephadm, but adding a special case in cephadmn still feels wrong to me.
Are there any other alternatives?

Thanks,
Sebastian
