A few days ago, I asked about an old drive that I have that has two partitions, typed as "fd" ( Linux RAID autodetect ). Running vgscan and pvscan doesn't seem to produce anything that makes sense to me, because I expect to see VGs on these two partitions. I then went on to "pvdisplay" and see the following, which seems to say that the "pvcreate" command was run on both partitions, but that nothing else was done. Am I correct, and am I dealing with two basically unused LVM2 partitions? --- NEW Physical volume --- PV Name /dev/md5 VG Name PV Size 37.26 GB Allocatable NO PE Size (KByte) 0 Total PE 0 Free PE 0 Allocated PE 0 PV UUID 62mYb1-sf0O-FA0J-D6TI-kUg6-R5og-mOZAB6 --- NEW Physical volume --- PV Name /dev/md6 VG Name PV Size 149.05 GB Allocatable NO PE Size (KByte) 0 Total PE 0 Free PE 0 Allocated PE 0 PV UUID uhilT7-33EQ-65Ml-ntFf-iDjJ-fhkn-lag1ev Thanks, Brian _______________________________________________ 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/
