Each is 80G. All had a single partition. I have a 2.6.8 kernel. I run the latest Debian testing version of lvm2. The first attempt only got me only 149G for the vg. So I followed the route suggested in the howto to delete the partition tables on every disk and use the devices. This give me a 220G vg. But there were some error messages about not opening /dev/hdb1 etc, which I ignored. I create an lv to fill the volume group and make an ext2 file system on it. After the first reboot, the lv was not found. Inconsistent metaadata was reported, which I fixed with the suggested syntax, then tried to create the vg again, but got a much smaller size. I want to start from scratch for the third time. fafner:~# vgremove /dev/vg1 Volume group "vg1" not found or inconsistent. Consider vgreduce --removemissing if metadata is inconsistent. fafner:~# vgreduce --removemissing vg1 Volume group "vg1" not found fafner:~# vgscan Reading all physical volumes. This may take a while... fafner:~# vgcreate vg1 /dev/hdb /dev/hdc /dev/hdd /dev/vg1: already exists in filesystem My general impression is that maybe with ide or Debian, this technology is not quite mature. If anyone wants to check out this problem, I will be happy to allow access to the machine.
