hi-
what does this error mean, and how do i rectify it? i have existing lvm
volumes on this box, but creating this big one (~350gb) on my new
software-raid5 array is giving me grief. i can mke2fs /dev/md2 just
fine, but when i try to install lvm2..:
root@cerulean:~# pvscan
PV /dev/md1 VG raid1 lvm1 [15.65 GB / 0 free]
Total: 1 [0 ] / in use: 1 [0 ] / in no VG: 0 [0 ]
root@cerulean:~# pvcreate /dev/md2
