There is a patch to the LVM kernel code which should help: ftp://ftp.us.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/andrea/patches/v2.4/2.4.0ac4/lvm-fix-2 You should also get the LVM user tools from CVS (with TAG LVM_0-9-patches) to solve this problem. There will hopefully be a new LVM release soon. > # pvcreate /dev/hdb1 > pvcreate -- physical volume "/dev/hdb1" successfully created > > # pvcreate /dev/hdb2 > pvcreate -- physical volume "/dev/hdb2" successfully created > > # pvcreate /dev/hdb3 > pvcreate -- physical volume "/dev/hdb3" successfully created Actually, unless you are simply doing this for testing, it is best to have only 1 partition for the whole disk. It wastes less space.
