[ceph-users] New Issue - Mapping Block Devices

Hi All, I've got a new issue (hopefully this one will be the last). I have a working Ceph (Octopus) cluster with a replicated pool (my-pool), an erasure-coded pool (my-pool-data), and an image (my-image) created - all *seems* to be working correctly. I also have the correct Keyring specified (ceph.client.my-id.keyring). ceph -s is reporting all healthy. The ec profile (my-ec-profile) was created with: ceph osd erasure-code-profile set my-ec-profile k=4 m=2 crush-failure-domain=host The replicated pool was created with: ceph osd pool create my-pool 100 100 replicated Followed by: rbd pool init my-pool The ec pool was created with: ceph osd pool create my-pool-data 100 100 erasure my-ec-profile --autoscale-mode=on Followed by: rbd pool init my-pool-data The image was created with: rbd create -s 1T --data-pool my-pool-data my-pool/my-image The Keyring was created with: ceph auth get-or-create client.my-id mon 'profile rbd' osd 'profile rbd pool=my-pool' mgr 'profile rbd pool=my-pool' -o /etc/ceph/ceph.client.my-id.keyring On a centos8 client machine I have installed ceph-common, placed the Keyring file into /etc/ceph/, and run the command: rbd device map my-pool/my-image --id my-id All *seems* AOK. However - and here's my issue - when I try to create a partition on /dev/rbd0 and/or try to mount it, the client reports: fdisk: cannot open /dev/rbd0: Input/output error  OR mount: /my-rbd-bloc-device: special device /dev/rbd0 does not exist (respectively). What am I doing wrong?
