Subject: [linux-lvm] pvcreate fails with invalid partition type.
Date: Wed, 22 Nov 2000 13:24:33 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <3A1BC911.4B9669AA@reading.sgi.com> (raw)
Hi,
I am trying to use LVM on an array of 8 SCSI disks with a 2.4 kernel and
devfs.
I run fdisk on each disk, and create a new primary partition (1) for the
whole disk.
I then set the type to 0x8e
When I run pvcreate, it fails. Here is the text:
[root@kryten 0.8final]# pvcreate /dev/scsi/host1/bus0/target*/lun0/part1
pvcreate -- invalid partition type 0x42 for
"/dev/scsi/host1/bus0/target10/lun0/part1" (must be 0x8e)
I'm also showing the output from fdisk to "prove" that the disk id
really is 0x8e.
[root@kryten 0.8final]# fdisk -l
/dev/scsi/host1/bus0/target10/lun0/part1
Disk /dev/scsi/host1/bus0/target10/lun0/part1: 255 heads, 63 sectors,
2212 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes
Device Boot Start End
Blocks Id System
/dev/scsi/host1/bus0/target10/lun0/part1p1 1 2212
17767858+ 8e Unknown
Is this a problem with devfs and lvm?
Is there a workaround?
Mark.
