Re: Using RBD with LVM

Thanks.  This fixed the problem.

BTW, after adding this line I still got the same error on my pvcreate
but then I ran pvcreate -vvv and found that it was ignorning my
/dev/rbd1 device because it had detected a partition signature (which I
had added in an earlier attempt to work around this "ignored" issue).

I deleted the partion and the pvcreate worked on all my RBD devices.

A basic recipe for creating an LVM volume is:

for i in 1 2 3
do
  rbd create user1-home-lvm-p0$i --size 102400
  rbd map user1-home-lvm-p0$i
  pvcreate user1-home-lvm-p0$i
done
vgcreate user1-home-vg \
   /dev/rbd/rbd/user1-home-lvm-p01 \
   /dev/rbd/rbd/user1-home-lvm-p02 \
   /dev/rbd/rbd/user1-home-lvm-p03
lvcreate -nuser1-home-lv -l%100FREE user1-home-vg
mkfs.ext4 /dev/user1-home-vg/user1-home-lv
mount /dev/user1-home-vg/user1-home-lv /somewhere
