Heins,
I'm sorry, I made a mistake when I was posting the message, what I did
was pvcreate /dev/sda1 and /dev/sdb1.
Actually, I even pvcreated /dev/hda10 and /dev/hda11 and tryed do run
vgcreate lvmdisk2 /dev/hda10 /dev/hda11 but the result was the same.
Regards,
Carlos

Carlos,
still strange, because the error you see is displayed if a magic identifier
which gets written to the device once you run pvcreate can't be recognized
afterwards.
In order to spot some more light on this, please send the following command
output to me in personal email (please use actual LVM 1.0.1 available at
www.sistina.com):
fdisk -l /dev/hda
pvcreate /dev/hda1[01]
pvscan
vgcreate -d lvmdisk /dev/hda1[01]
Regards,

Hi there,
I'm trying to get LVM working on Linux but is being very frustrating to me.
I'm running kernel version 2.4.14 and the disks where I'm tryng to do LVM are
QUANTUM Model: ATLAS10K2-TY367 (scsi)
I've already tried these versions of LVM: lvm_0.6, lvm_1.0.1 and
lvm_1.0.1-rc4. All of them give some trouble, but the main problem is that I
can't create the volume group.
I followed the howto and partitioned the disks and changed the type to 8e, I
was able to run pvcreate on the two disks /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda2, but when
I
tried to create the volume group I'm getting the following error
# vgcreate lvmdisk /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1
vgcreate -- ERROR "pv_read(): PV identifier invalid" reading physical volumes
With the version lvm_1.0.1 I was able to create it and mount, but when I
rebooted the computer I couldn't mount it again, the volume wasn't detected
and the data tha I put on it was lost.
I did a trace of the command and I can see that it opens the files
/etc/lvmtab,
/etc/lvmtab.d
/dev/lvm
/etc/lvmtab
/proc/partitions and
/proc/devices
in that order, and after that it gives me the error.
Am I missing something?
Could Somebody tell me how can I get over this trouble?
Regards.
Xavier

Carlos,
you say you pvcreated /dev/sda[12] successfully, but run
"vgcreate lvmdisk /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1" which makes vgcreate complain like
you reported below unless /dev/sdb1 is a valid PV too.
