Hi All, I am having a problem with the metadata at the beginning of the disk. The disk is a whole disk with a valid partition table. The disk is part of a volume group. The operations I am trying to do are the following 1. pvcreate /dev/sdf 2. vgcreate samplevg /dev/sdf 3. Open the device (/dev/sdf) read only (using open system call) 4. read 512 bytes from the beginning of the device. I expect atleast the ID "HM" to be at the beginning of the disk but the first block (512 bytes) is all 0. Anybody have any ideas how I can get the information like the id, version etc. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Narasimha Krishnakumar. _______________________________________________ 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/
