i am trying to create a physical volume using the entire disk /dev/sda1 and pvcreate is complaining that there is a partition table on the disk when in fact there isnt. # pvcreate -ff -v /dev/sda1 pvcreate --device "/dev/sda" has a partition table i have tried many different things: # dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=1024 count=10 # blockdev --rereadpt /dev/sda # sfdisk -R /dev/sda1 i am able to confirm that /proc/partitions does not have a partition entry for the disk but pvcreate still fails. i am using a devfs kernel so i thought there might be some strange behavior between lvm and devfs. is there a fix or known issues regarding lvm and devfs? _______________________________________________ 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/
