Where are the 17.2 GB and can I add when u buy the disk, vendor count it as 250GB or 250 * 1000 * 1000 * 1000 bytes. when LVM count it, it is 250 * 1000 * 1000 * 1000 / 1024 / 1024/ 1024 = 232.83GB. check online, many discussion about this 1024 and 1000 issue. > them to VG01. > When I look with fdisk it says that no information is available for > /dev/sda1 and "invalid flag 0x0000 of partition table 4 will be > corrected by w(rite)". > I assume that all problems have arisen due to the fact that I did a > pvcreate on a disk which has a W95 FAT32 partition ( of 250 Gb). > I assume the best way is to delete the partition completely and create a > new partition (with parted or fdisk?) or are there better methods?
