Ceph » devops

The problem is that qemu-kvm depends on librbd1, and if you remove the latter, that means removing the former. That really should be fixed before this can be; I spoke to Josh about it, and he has a fix, but it's been rejected from upstream in favor of a more-generic plugin mechanism that will doubtless take years :)

@Dan Mick would an acceptable workaround to this problem in the meantime be to add an extra flag to handle this?

Something like `--with-dependencies`:

ceph-deploy uninstall --with-dependencies {nodes}

# and

ceph-deploy purge --with-dependencies {nodes}

Oh, I dunno. I was depressed enough about the "qemu requires librbd" that I kinda lost interest.

I'm good with closing this. It's just an unfortunate wart. We may want to document it somewhere tho.
