ceph-volume attempts to create a VG on a raw block device to use as a
bluestore OSD. The command it uses looks like this:
vgcreate --force --yes ceph-a637b0e7-e54f-4fe9-8afc-a74671d94f6e /dev/sdi
The disk (/dev/sdi) in this case is a blank (no partition table) GPT
label 3.7T drive.
So is it a GPT device or not? If yes, it HAS a partition table after
all, and LVM filters such devices out, even if the partition table is empty.
Run `wipefs -a /dev/sdi` first to remove any FS/GPT signatures.
-- Martian
vgcreate complains and fails:
stderr: Device /dev/sdi excluded by a filter.
I cannot figure out what "filter" is causing this. The global_filter
in lvm.conf is wide open:
filter = [ "a|.*/|" ]
Turning up debug logging does not show any additional reasons.
Repeatedly running pvscan or vgscan to update the cache does not fix
it either.
What could be blocking this device from being used?
thanks,
