Hello LVM-Gurus, I would like to create a volume group based on an sofraid device (/dev/md0). I know, there are many emails about this topic, but I think no one has the solution for this. I have found some code-patches for older versions of the lvm for fix this problem. But, what is the current state in the new lvm-1.0.1-rc2 version. The following things I have made before: $ mkraid --realy-force /dev/md0 $ mkreiserfs /dev/md0 $ mount /dev/md0 /mnt -> so I think, the raid device is ok $ pvcreate /dev/md0 > pvcreate -- device "/dev/md0" has a partition table $ fdisk -l /dev/md0 > Disk /dev/md0: 2 heads, 4 sectors, 2441880 cylinders > Units = cylinders of 8 * 512 bytes > > Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System $ uname -a > Linux lxclust1 2.4.9 #6 Mon Jan 3 19:52:54 CET 2000 i686 unknown $ dmesg | grep -i lvm > LVM version 0.9.1_beta2 by Heinz Mauelshagen (18/01/2001) > lvm -- Driver successfully initialized LVM-Version: 1.0.1-rc2 -> why is this an other version as reported by kernel? Does anyone know, how can I initialize the /dev/md0 device for te the lvm? Thanks for your help, Thorsten Sauter viastore systems GmbH -- Your mouse has moved.
