Hi, I have browsed the archives and not found a conclusive answer to this: How much of an PV partition do I need to wipe with dd so that pvscan does not find it? I have found that even if I wipe a partition table with dd and then repartition with the same sized partitions, the old PV and VG are still found. I tried zeroing the start of the LVM partition, but found this only worked consistently if I wiped nearly the entire partition. Where exactly is the metadata that needs to be zeroed? I'd like to to wipe it regardless of any information about previous LVM configuration. This is for install scripts of cluster nodes which are re-imaged periodically. I'm using LVM 1.0.3. Thanks, Nathan _______________________________________________ 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/
