Hello, I had tried to do some test with LVM on a loopback device follwing some tutorials on the web. I get errors. what I do is this: dd if=/dev/zero of=/work/tmp/disk-image count=10240 mke2fs /work/tmp/disk-image mount -o loop /work/tmp/disk-image /work/loop/ 78 14:23 pvcreate /dev/loop1 error: Failed to wipe new metadata area /dev/loop1: Format-specific setup of physical volume failed. Failed to setup physical volume "/dev/loop1" what did I do wrong ?
