Hi I'm trying to setup LVM, but have run into trouble: unibus:~# blockdev --rereadpt /dev/hdc;dmesg|tail -n 1 /dev/ide/host0/bus1/target0/lun0: unknown partition table unibus:~# pvcreate /dev/hdc pvcreate -- device "/dev/hdc" has a partition table as you can see, Linux knows that there's no partition, yet pvcreate insists that there is; this was after dd-ing 1GB of /dev/zero over the start of the disk, too :-( Is there any way to force a bypass of this partition table test? don _______________________________________________ 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/
