> Firsttimer > chinook@/home/moll# pvcreate /dev/sdb Hello Firsttimer This may or may not be the problem, but it seems you are going against the standard advice to put PVs on *partitions* rather than *drives*, even if it results in a single partition using all the available space. It may seem pointless to create a single partition to cover the whole drive, but it is the best way. (Remember to reboot after changing the partition table.) Regards, Bill -- William H.
