Dear ceph-users,

I'm trying to get the ceph monitor use a exclusive partition on my ssd drive. 
However, how should I prepare it?
I want to do something like this:

Ceph-deploy mon create mynode --mon-data /dev/sda5

Or

Ceph-deploy mon create mynode:/dev/sda5

/dev/sda5 is a 16GB partition on a 120GB ssd with mbr-ext2(???)  formatted how 
should I continue...

Also

When preparing the OSD's with a single dedicated platter disk per OSD like so:

Ceph-deploy disk zap mynode:/dev/sdd

And there is a corrupted GPT table (yes, I can do that :S ) a error is shown 
but the disk is not prepared.
Its not really clear what I'm zapping the disk with either ie: mbr/gpt and 
ext4,xfs or btrfs... it seems that fdisk doesn't understand gpt, but disk zap 
tries to create a gpt table on it. I don't think its really necessary for a 2TB 
to use GPT.

Its not clear whether or not a disk is zapped when using ceph-deploy osd 
prepare or ceph-deploy osd create either...

Then the journal for the osd disks can be set with something like
Ceph-deploy osd prepare mynode:/dev/sdd:/dev/sda6

But can I do this? Or should I first mount it to the /var/lib/ceph/osd 
directory somewhere.. and what about formatting...

Can anyone clarify that for me?

Regards,
Johannes
