Thanks all for your answers.
Actually, my problem concern lvm, not mkswap. I don't know yet if I
have completely messed with vgcreate/lvcreate or if what I get is due
to some difference between CentOS-5 and CentOS-6, but all my logical
volumes seem to appear as distinct disks.
On a CentOS-6 machine :
$ lvcreate -L 10M --name try_lvcreate --zero=y VolGroup
Rounding up size to full physical extent 12.00 MiB
Logical volume "try_lvcreate" created
$ fdisk -l
<snip the "normal" partitions table for /dev/sda>
Disk /dev/mapper/VolGroup-try_lvcreate: 12 MB, 12582912 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 1 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x00000000
Disk /dev/mapper/VolGroup-try_lvcreate doesn't contain a valid partition table
$ mkswap /dev/mapper/VolGroup-try_lvcreate
mkswap: /dev/mapper/VolGroup-try_lvcreate: warning: don't erase bootbits sectors
on whole disk. Use -f to force.
Setting up swapspace version 1, size = 12284 KiB
no label, UUID=be229ca5-bcb9-4116-87fc-8878abb44742
The same commands on a CentOS-5 machine give me a completely
different output. Can you guess where I have messed, or is this
behavior correct on CentOS-6 ?
Thanks,
