I think it was Won't Fix for lack of a vocal user or reasonable use-case for wanting it. IIRC the issue is just that it breaks the ceph-deploy syntax of host:dev[:journaldev]. Perhaps it is enough to just choose an alternate separator character (one that won't appear in a device path)... sage -- 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
