Swift 1.9.0: swauth prep error

Hi,

We are in the process of implementation of new "object storage" infra.

Infra:
1. Swift version: 1.9.0
2. Swauth : 1.0.9

Changes:
1. We have added each and every HDD present on the node/storage server as individual disk.
2. LABELed each HDD as "HDD001, HDD002.... HDD012 etc" using xfs_admin and used the same label to mount the partitions under "/srv/node/HDD001..." using fstab (to avoid inconsistent partition mounting after reboots)
3. The disks are added into the ring with LABEL names and not the device names
e.g.
swift-ring-builder object.builder add r2z1-XX.XX.XX.1:6010/HDD001 100

Below is the error we are getting when trying to prep the swauth:

Command:
#swauth-prep -A https://<domain>/auth/ -U .super_admin -K swauthkey
