PVE6 pveceph create osd: unable to get device info

[niziak]

We have gpt partition table on sda, with sda1 - sda4 in use, I'm hoping pveceph will just create sda5 partition of db_size and use that. If not, I'll just partition and setup with ceph volume lvm.

Thanks

To clarify:

• It is safe to specify already used device.
• With PVE 6.3-3, pveceph osc create cannot handle pure free disc space (even with GPT). It expects that given disc is empty or with LVM and some free space to create new LV.
• As workaround I have to use direct ceph CLI:

  ceph-volume lvm create --bluestore --data /dev/sdc --block.db /dev/nvme0n1p3
  ceph-volume lvm activate --all
