I can't reproduce this problem any longer, so I'm assuming that
something changed to fix this as I was seeing it 100% of the time.

Title:
  ceph-disk-prepare command always fails; new partition table not
  avaliable until reboot

Status in “ceph” package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  $ sudo ceph-disk-prepare --fs-type xfs --zap-disk /dev/vdb
  Caution: invalid backup GPT header, but valid main header; regenerating
  backup header from main header.

  Warning! Main and backup partition tables differ! Use the 'c' and 'e' options
  on the recovery & transformation menu to examine the two tables.

  Warning! One or more CRCs don't match. You should repair the disk!

  ****************************************************************************
  Caution: Found protective or hybrid MBR and corrupt GPT. Using GPT, but disk
  verification and recovery are STRONGLY recommended.

  Warning: The kernel is still using the old partition table.
  The new table will be used at the next reboot.
  GPT data structures destroyed! You may now partition the disk using fdisk or
  other utilities.

  mkfs.xfs: cannot open /dev/vdb1: Device or resource busy
  ceph-disk: Error: Command '['/sbin/mkfs', '-t', 'xfs', '-f', '-i', 'size=2048', '--', '/dev/vdb1']' returned non-zero exit status 1

  I can reproduce this consistently across ceph nodes; also impacts on
  the way we use swift for storage as well.
