Greetings, I have a question regarding the use of cephadm and disk partitions. I have noticed that the cephadm documentation mentions that a device cannot have partitions to be considered "available" for use. In my situation I don't want to use a device with partitions, but rather a partition itself as an osd. I've noticed that partitions do not show up when using `ceph orch device ls`. I've also noticed that partitions can still be used as osds by running something like `ceph orch daemon add osd node1:/dev/sda4`. My question is should I? Am I going to run into trouble by using a partition for an osd instead of a full device? Thanks, Jason
