Doc Text:
.`ceph-volume` now returns a more accurate error message when deploying OSDs on devices with GPT headers The `ceph-volume` utility does not support deploying OSDs on devices with GUID Partition Table (GPT) headers. Previously, after attempting to do so, an error similar to the following one was returned: ---- Device /dev/sdb excluded by a filter ---- With this update, the `ceph-volume` utility returns a more accurate error message instructing the users to remove GPT headers: ---- GPT headers found, they must be removed on: $device_name ----

Description Vasishta 2018-10-30 14:04:45 UTC 
Description of problem:

While trying to bring up cluster (Using ceph-ansible) on hosts on which an existing cluster was purged, OSD creation was failed on all the nodes with stderr - 'Device /dev/sdb excluded by a filter'

How reproducible:
Not always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Purge an existing cluster
2. Try to bring up clusters with lvm based OSDs.


Actual results:
stderr: Device /dev/sdb excluded by a filter

Expected results:
Clusters must be configured

Additional info:
Got to know that it is possible that device might have a GPT header and user needs to make sure that the device is fully wiped/zapped.
