Hi all,

Background: Completely new to Ceph; trying it out on three VMs I have, 
following install instructions found at 
http://docs.ceph.com/docs/master/start/quick-ceph-deploy/ 
<http://docs.ceph.com/docs/master/start/quick-ceph-deploy/>

I am at the point in the docs where it says to run 'ceph-deploy osd activate’ 
on the other two nodes from the first node. I try to do so, but get the 
following error:

[root@ceph2 ~]# ceph-deploy osd activate ceph3:/dev/sdc ceph3:/dev/sdd 
ceph3:/dev/sde
[ceph_deploy.conf][DEBUG ] found configuration file at: /root/.cephdeploy.conf

[ceph3][ERROR ] RuntimeError: command returned non-zero exit status: 1
[ceph_deploy][ERROR ] RuntimeError: Failed to execute command: ceph-disk -v

In some manual testing, I found that if I ran the listed command, indeed I got 
no output:
[root@ceph2 ~]# ssh root@ceph4 /sbin/blkid -p -s TYPE -ovalue -- /dev/sdc
[root@ceph2 ~]#

Then tried taking away the ‘-s TYPE’ and ‘-ovalue' params, I got output as 
follows:
[root@ceph2 ~]# ssh root@ceph4 /sbin/blkid -p -- /dev/sdc
/dev/sdc: PTTYPE="gpt"
[root@ceph2 ~]#

So if I modified the original command, but set the ‘-s' param to use “PTTYPE” 
instead of “TYPE”, I get a valid response:
[root@ceph2 ~]# ssh root@ceph4 /sbin/blkid -p -s PTTYPE -ovalue -- /dev/sdc
gpt
[root@ceph2 ~]#

Is this a bug in ‘osd activate’ (at least on CentOS 7.2), or is there some way 
to specify the blkid parameter to use?

Thanks,
Will
