One last question: Why can't I use "pvcreate /dev/sda" but have to use "pvcreate /dev/sda1" (as the LV HOW-TO stated the former). Hope you can help me out with this as well.
pvcreate man-page says that: <quote> For *whole disk devices only* the partition table must be erased, which will effectively destroy all data on that disk. This can be done by zeroing the first sector with: dd if=/dev/zero of=PhysicalVolume bs=512 count=1 </quote> -- Markus Laire _______________________________________________ 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/
