Hi,
Thanks for reading this message.
The following is the case, I would like to create a pv on a whole disk
but pvcreate gives me the message that there is a "partition table" on
the
disk.
I removed the partition table with "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hdb bs=512
count=1"
The fdisk command shows me that there is no partion table but pvcreate
tells me
different.
Here is some info :
Disk Info
gw:/dev# dmesg | grep hdb
ide0: BM-DMA at 0xe000-0xe007, BIOS settings: hda:DMA, hdb:DMA
hdb: ST310212A, ATA DISK drive
hdb: 20005650 sectors (10243 MB) w/512KiB Cache, CHS=19846/16/63,
UDMA(33)
Fdisk Info :
gw:/dev# fdisk -l /dev/hdb
Disk /dev/hdb: 10.2 GB, 10242892800 bytes
16 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19846 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 1008 * 512 = 516096 bytes
Disk /dev/hdb doesn't contain a valid partition table
Pvcreate Info :
gw:/dev# pvcreate --version
pvcreate: Logical Volume Manager 1.0.4

gw:/dev# pvcreate /dev/hdb
pvcreate -- device "/dev/hdb" has a partition table
Has anybody an idea on howto solve this problem.
I already rebooted the system to be sure the partition table is active.
