I have the latest=20 debian distro installed, with kernel updates, and LVM2 is installed. I encounter my first problem when typing pvcreate /dev/sdb1. ( the=20 partition of the second raid array) I get the message : device /dev/sdb1 not found or ignored by filtering I checked /etc/lvm/lvm.conf, and I commented out the line about the filter. After a reboot, no more luck. I tried to circumvent the problem by=20 booting with an ubuntu CD, but i get the same error message. Could anybody tip me about what's wrong and more importantly suggest=20 solutions to me ? :-) Thanks a lot in advance. --=20 Gilles Guiot Responsable exploitation informatique T=EF=BF=BDl. : 01 53 23 02 20 gilles.guiot@saros.fr
