<p>I have a single node development Kubernetes cluster running on bare metal (ubuntu 18.04) and I need to test my application with rook-ceph.</p>
<p>I followed the rook-ceph instructions (<a href="https://rook.io/docs/rook/v1.3/ceph-quickstart.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://rook.io/docs/rook/v1.3/ceph-quickstart.html</a>) for installing it on a K8s cluster as seen below and the only thing I changed was instead of installing <code>cluster.yaml</code> I installed <code>cluster-test.yaml</code>at the last step because in the documentation it is mentioned that &quot;cluster-test.yaml: Cluster settings for a test environment such as minikube&quot;</p>
<pre class="lang-sh prettyprint-override"><code>git clone --single-branch --branch release-1.3 https://github.com/rook/rook.git
cd rook/cluster/examples/kubernetes/ceph
kubectl create -f common.yaml
kubectl create -f operator.yaml
kubectl create -f cluster.yaml
</code></pre>
<p>After installing everything the OSD pod cannot get launched:</p>

<p>How can I solve this? I just need to run it temporarily for my dev (for some reasons I cannot install my application on minikube/microk8s)</p>

<p>For myself, I noticed that you just need to do this for your disks:</p>
<p><code>dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=1M status=progress</code></p>
<p>And then cluster.yaml rook-ceph gets up without any problems.</p>
