This is what I get on the console any time I make a change in the FC storage. Can someone shed some light on this? Also, I changed out some drives and am trying to get the storage set up for GFS again. The first thing I did was to run pvcreate /dev/sda (in this case). Yet, pvcreate just sits there until I finally kill it. I don't seem to have full control of this storage yet, what might I look at? It dawns on me as I write this... before making the changes, I totally forgot about removing the logical volume information. And of course, any other information that was in there before making the storage change. I think that's where I went wrong. How can I clean up the warnings now and move on to using the new storage?
