Subject: [linux-lvm] pvcreate -- device "/dev/hdc" has a partition table: force check bypass?
Date: Fri Jan 10 18:51:01 2003 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20030111135159.6f968ae6.don@dis.org.nz> (raw)
Hi
I'm trying to setup LVM, but have run into trouble:
unibus:~# blockdev --rereadpt /dev/hdc;dmesg|tail -n 1
/dev/ide/host0/bus1/target0/lun0: unknown partition table
unibus:~# pvcreate /dev/hdc
pvcreate -- device "/dev/hdc" has a partition table
as you can see, Linux knows that there's no partition, yet pvcreate
insists that there is; this was after dd-ing 1GB of /dev/zero over the
start of the disk, too :-(
Is there any way to force a bypass of this partition table test?
don
