Subject: [linux-lvm] pvcreate -- ERROR "Success"
Date: Wed Dec 11 14:22:01 2002	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20021211202224.79940.qmail@web40906.mail.yahoo.com> (raw)

Firsttimer, trying to take advantage of LVM on Linux.
I have used it on AIX, so i have the concept.

I have a RAID Array (1.1Tb) SCSI-ATA drive (sdb) that
i was trying to create a volume out of (pvcreate).

However, it gives me an ERROR "Success" message.
I initially had it formatted with with reiserfs, but
then wiped it clean, and erased partition table as
described in howtos (dd /dev/zero....). Debug also
posted below.
Any leads to get this working?
Exact error below. Thnks in advance.
