Hi,

Since my last post, I have downloaded 1.0.1-rc4
and compiled the tools.
I can now vgcreate using /dev/md1.   Thanks.
lvm commands work well, with gcc version # 2.96 on 2.4.3-20 mandrake kernel.

But during my previous tests I had done 'e2fsck /dev/md0'.
Maybe because of that, I have the following problem.

# pvcreate -vff /dev/md0
pvcreate -- locking logical volume manager
pvcreate -- checking physical volume name "/dev/md0"
pvcreate -- getting physical volume size
pvcreate -- device "/dev/md0" has a partition table

# echo $?
7

Then I did the following :-
    dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/md0

Didn't make any difference.
Can you please help?

Thanks
Sarma
