I believe the Debian distribution may have set it to 0 at one point because of problems in certain configurations: these cases should be fixed by 2.00.29. Another cause of problems could be if people created a whole-disk PV on a device that actually held a partition table - i.e. they ignored the partition table, even though the kernel would still be using it. >From 2.00.29, lvm2 tries to detect partitioned devices and stop you using them directly as PVs unless you remove the partition table first. (i.e. if it's partitioned, only the partitions can be PVs, not the whole disk device) Alasdair -- agk@redhat.com _______________________________________________ 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/
