Hi all: I have LVM2 installed, and I tried to create lvm1 configurations using the following command: [root@DAP-RHLNX1 tools]# vgcreate -v --metadatatype 1 vg1-lvm2 /dev/hda6 /dev/hda7 Invalid argument 1 Error during parsing of command line. [root@DAP-RHLNX1 tools]# However, passing into "2" as the metadatatype would succeed. [root@DAP-RHLNX1 tools]# vgcreate -v --metadatatype 2 vg1-lvm2 /dev/hda6 /dev/hda7 Adding physical volume '/dev/hda6' to volume group 'vg1-lvm2' Adding physical volume '/dev/hda7' to volume group 'vg1-lvm2' Archiving volume group "vg1-lvm2" metadata. Creating volume group backup "/etc/lvm/backup/vg1-lvm2" Volume group "vg1-lvm2" successfully created [root@DAP-RHLNX1 tools]# Does anyone what the problem is? What is the best way to create LVM1 configurations?
