[linux-lvm] pb with pvcreate and partition tables

[linux-lvm] pb with pvcreate and partition tables

[Julien Baboud]

hi,

 I use LVM with the 0.9 beta 7 on a SuSE 7.1 distrib and
 i've encoutered a pb with pvcreate on a partition that is set to the
LVM type (and was another type before, which is the source of the pb).
Here is
the output of the command i used :

 %pvcreate /dev/hda16 

 pvcreate -- device "/dev/hda16" has a partition table 
 pvcreate [-d|--debug] [-f[f]|--force [--force]] [-h|--help] [-y|--yes]
         [-v|--verbose] [-V|--version] PhysicalVolume
[PhysicalVolume...]


and the -f option show me the same output.

 I don't know if it's a pb with LVM or with fdisk wich i use to set the
type of the partitions, but i would appreciate if any could tell me a 
solution to correct this.

Julien,

hda16 == hdb?

Something with your /dev setup looks strange.

RE: [linux-lvm] pb with pvcreate and partition tables

[Gonyou, Austin]

Is the pre not available anywhere? I'd like to see if it solves my problem
of growing XFS fileysstems with LVM.

Well, pre was the actual top of the repository.
Now it is tagged LVM_0-9-1_Beta8 and you can get the tarball

 sure, there is something wrong but what ?
 i must add something : /dev/hda16 is the only partition with wich i had
apply the 'mkfs.ext2' command when it was of Linux type (and not LVM).
But since i have rebooted it is the only partition with wich i have
problems :

 any idea how to overide the partition table ? (see the output of the
pvcreate command below)
 thanks for your help.
