Which part of LVM checks the partition > type? Can you show me some sample code? Unfortunately I'm no hacker, I am just trying to use LVM on the PowerMac (OldWorld, beige G3). So I can't show you source code. This evening when I get back home I can take note of the error messages and send them, but to sum it up I tried everything under the Sun, and none could mark a partition as LVM type, not even parted which does uses names instead of hexadecimals. I tried even to mark a partition as undefined with mac-fdisk, but then vgcreate fails, even if pvcreate works. -- Leandro GuimarÃes Faria Corcete Dutra <ldutra@prefeitura.sp.gov.br> Prefeitura do MunicÃpio de SÃo Paulo Governo EletrÃnico, Telecentros +55 (11) 5080 9647 http://br.geocities.com./lgcdutra/ +55 (11) 5080 9648 _______________________________________________ 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/
