Description of problem: The `ceph-volume lvm create` command currently does NOT abort if partitions exist on a specified block device. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): RHCS 4.2z4 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Have block.db device with partitions 2. Specify --block.db to the device with existing partitions 3. Issue `ceph-volume lvm create --bluestore --block $dev --block.db $dev2 --block.db-size 250G` Actual results: - Existing partitions on $dev2 are wiped and a new PV/VG/LV structure created. - In this instance, the partitions for currently running OSDs `block.db` were wiped and re-used by LV's, thus causing prior running OSDs to crash and be unrecoverable. Expected results: - `ceph-volume` to abort due to existing data structure Additional info: - This would appear to occur if the `--block` or `--block.db` or `--block.wal` has partition structure, but this particular event occurred on `--block.db`.
