Subject: ceph-disk: work around buggy rhel/centos parted
X-Git-Tag: v0.65~70
X-Git-Url: http://git-server-git.apps.pok.os.sepia.ceph.com/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=82ff72f827b9bd7f91d30a09d35e42b25d2a7344;p=ceph.git

ceph-disk: work around buggy rhel/centos parted

parted on RHEL/Centos prefixes the *machine readable output* with

 1b 5b 3f 31 30 33 34 68

Note that the same thing happens when you 'import readline' in python.

Work around it!
