Hello! Are there any known Problems when you want to use a Partition from a Disk also containg a FreeBSD Slice as a PV? The disk has four Partitions at the Moment: $ fdisk -l /dev/hda Disk /dev/hda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 7297 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 * 1 765 6144831 b Win95 FAT32 /dev/hda2 766 2040 10241437+ a5 FreeBSD /dev/hda3 2041 3315 10241437+ c Win95 FAT32 (LBA) /dev/hda4 3316 7297 31985415 8e Linux LVM /dev/hda2 is a FreeBSD Partition/Slice and is detected by the Kernel (which has Support for BSD-Disklabels) as: hda: hda1 hda2 hda3 hda4 hda2: <bsd: hda5 hda6 hda7 hda8 hda9 hda10 > System is Debian Unstable with: ii lvm10 1.1rc1-1 The Logical Volume Manager for Linux and Kernel 2.4.19-pre5. When I add this Partiton to a existing VG and then try to lvcreate another LV from the added Space, I get a lvcreate -- ERROR "Operation not permitted" opening logical volume "/dev/pile/test" (Attached is a Logfile which shows this in Context, and more Info) Since this worked without Problems on the other Disks in this System, and the only difference I can see is the FreeBSD Slice on hda -- might this be a Problem? I already tried repartitioning in case there was something wrong -- hda3 and hda4 were a single partition before. I'm relativly new to LVM, so I don't really know if I'm doing something wrong here.
