I'm not able to create Volume groups successfully on a Big Endian Xscale Intel IXP425; Here is a log of what happens, along with some potentially helpful debug... dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/discs/disc0/disc bs=1M count=1 1+0 records in 1+0 records out pvcreate /dev/discs/disc0/disc Physical volume "/dev/discs/disc0/disc" successfully created pvdisplay /dev/discs/disc0/disc No physical volume label read from /dev/discs/disc0/disc Failed to read physical volume "/dev/discs/disc0/disc" vgcreate vg00 /dev/discs/disc0/disc Incorrect metadata area header checksum Incorrect metadata area header checksum No physical volume label read from /dev/discs/disc0/disc /dev/discs/disc0/disc not identified as an existing physical volume Unable to add physical volume '/dev/discs/disc0/disc' to volume group 'vg00'. vgdisplay --version LVM version: 2.00.20 (2004-07-03) Library version: 1.00.19-ioctl (2004-07-03) Driver version: 4.1.0 uname -a Linux mayfield-blueridge 2.6.7-rc3 #27 Mon Jul 26 19:11:25 MDT 2004 armv5teb unknown I'm using glibc-2.3.2 and a gcc 3.4.0 FYI. Also, I read the LVM2 is not focusing on performance and may be extremely slow compared to LVM1 (factor or 2 was thrown around); Is this still true? I need max speed from my disk subsystem, as I'm already on a slow platform. I tried using LVM1, but the compile is massively broken, and it looks like modern 2.6 kernels don't support this (No def of LVM_MAJOR, etc, etc); Perhaps I just need to dig some more into making LVM1 work for me. _______________________________________________ linux-lvm mailing list linux-lvm@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm read the LVM HOW-TO at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/
