I just installed a new 120G IDE disk. My system currently has two 32G SCSI disks. I intend to migrate the data off of the SCSI disks on to the IDE disk. My version info: Linux home 2.4.19 #7 SMP Sat Apr 19 18:04:41 PDT 2003 i686 unknown unknown GNU/Linux home:~# pvcreate --version LVM version: 1.95.10 (2002-05-31) Library version: 0.96.04-ioctl-cvs (2002-08-14) Driver version: 1.0.8 The drive is a 120G Maxtor IDE drive. I have a 1G partition (which I will eventually reinstall the OS onto) and a ~120G partition which I want to initialize as a physical volume, add it to a new volume group, create some LV's, and then copy the data from my existing disks into it. Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hdd1 1 4064 2048224+ 83 Linux /dev/hdd2 4065 238216 118012608 8e Linux LVM But when I do the pvcreate I get this error: home:~# pvcreate /dev/hdd2 Failed to read existing physical volume '/dev/hdd2' /dev/hdd2: Couldn't find device. Failed to setup physical volume "/dev/hdd2" Googling on "Failed to read existing physical volume" produces zero hits. Nothing at all. Any ideas? -- Tracy Reed http://www.ultraviolet.org
