Hi, on the second machine where I would like to create LVM volumes I have the following problem The ZIP drive and the CDROM drive are mapped to hdd (hdc resp.) BUT due to a kernel parameter hdc=ide-scsi hdd=ide-scsi these are no more accessible as /dev/hdd /dev/hdc Now pvcreate /dev/sdb1 works fine but vgcreate home /dev/sdb1 produces error messages like ide-scsi: hdd unsupported command in request queue (0) .... and after some such messages vgcreate -- ERROR "pv_read(): read" reading physical volumes. AND the desired volume group on my scsi drive /dev/sdb1 is NOT created. What can one do about this. How to tell the utilities to never look at /dev/hd? I am using lvm-1.0.2 Does this problem vanish with 2.0 ?
