i am trying to create a physical volume on /dev/hdb using: pvcreate -ff -y /dev/hdb the following error is generated: pvcreate -- device "/dev/hdb" has a partition table my understanding is that pvcreate looks in /proc/partitions for partition information. currently /proc/partitions does not show any partitions for hdb (target1). i have tried: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hdb bs=1k count=1 blockdev --rereadpt /dev/hdb nothing indicates that there is a partition table on /dev/hdb, however pvcreate is still detecting one. i am using lvm 1.0.1. is this a known issue with version 1.0.1? is there something i am missing that pvcreate is detecting? _______________________________________________ linux-lvm mailing list linux-lvm@sistina.com http://lists.sistina.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm read the LVM HOW-TO at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/
