So I try pvchange -v -x y /dev/hdd
Using physical volume(s) on command line

I have searched the net and found nothing about this. I have also tried fdisk and added a lvm partition /dev/hdd1 with the same results. I can however make a linux partition on the disk and it works fine. I have used dd and blockdev as discribed in the howto to wipe the partition table on the disk. I am using FC2 with all the updates and latest kernel. This drive is a new IBM drive 120 G.
Thank you.
