Replacing the example paths, use "sudo parted /dev/sdg" or "gksu gparted /dev/sdg", create partitions, set osd journal to point to a block device for a partition.

Frankly, you should not use btrfs devs. Any convenience you may gain is more than doubly offset by pains exactly like these. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe ceph-devel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
