Check your path. [root@atlantis mpeters]# which pvcreate /usr/bin/which: no pvcreate in (/usr/kerberos/sbin:/home/mpeters/cxo_bin:/home/mpeters/cxo_bin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/home/mpeters/bin) [root@atlantis mpeters]# su - [root@atlantis ~]# which pvcreate /usr/sbin/pvcreate [root@atlantis ~]# If you became root with just an "su" then you do not have root's path. You have to use su - to get roots path.
