As long as we still need to live with partition tables, the advantage of having 1 partition to create a PV on it is, that all related tools (e.g. parted) *show* that there's an LVM partition. Without a partition table on the device, it is easier to overlook that the device is being used by LVM. Of course LVM tools such as 'pvscan' or 'pvs' will show that fact. Having said that, it is up to you to go without the technically superfluous partition table on an LVM-only device or not. > > TIA > _______________________________________________ > 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/ -- Regards, Heinz -- The LVM Guy -- *** Software bugs are stupid.
