i dont completely agree with that because even when i use a kernel that does not have devfs i still get the same symptoms. even though /proc/partitions does not have a partition for a disk pvcreate still complains that there is one. pvcreate must be looking someplace else or there is a bug within lvm. now, if i create a pv within a partition there are no complaints, lvm will continue normally. it appears to only happen when i want to create a pv on the entire disk. why does pvcreate think there is a partition when there clearly isnt one?
