Recently i tried to setup a new server with LVM, but the Debian installer couldn't do for me what I wanted it to do, so I had to do it myself after installing the base system. No problem, because I think I know LVM, and now it works... But the installer somehow wrote LVM metadata to /dev/sda1 (which is now my plain ext3 root partition) during my struggles with the Debian installer. Now every time when I run any lvm tool like vgscan, or lvdisplay, the tools blurt out: 'Incorrect metadata area header checksum'. Running with -v -v shows that it happens when the tool scans /dev/sda1. But /dev/sda1 is just a Linux partition with ext3 fs on it. Is there any way I can remove the LVM metadata area header so that the tools just ignore that partition instead of warning me every time? ;) Let me know :) Regards, Sander. -- | It was a business doing pleasure with you! | 1024D/08CEC94D - 34B3 3314 B146 E13C 70C8 9BDB D463 7E41 08CE C94D
