Subject: [linux-lvm] problem when creating a volumegroup on an external drive
Date: Fri, 12 May 2006 13:28:40 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <44647168.3030205@neuroweave.nl> (raw)
Hi,
I'm new to the list and new to the use of LVM. I have read the manuals
(which mainly are for LVM1) and am using LVM2.
I have one question. I just created a new volumegroup on an USB external
disk.
As the manual says I did : pvcreate /dev/sda but that did't work but
pvcreate /dev/sda1 worked.
I then did a vgcreate VG01, expecting to get one volume group for the
whole disk (250 GB). However, it created 2 volumegroups, one named
VolGroup00 of 46.6 GB and one VG01 (as expected) of 232.8 GB. The
problem is I have on another 2 disks already a VolGroup00 so I cannot do
an lvcreate VolGroup00 as this will try to access the earlier created one.
Can anybody explain why an unrequested volumegroup is created and how
can I solve this.
I cannot do a vgdelete VolGroup00 as this will destroy my current -
working - system.
Hope somebody knows the answers.
Thanks
Joep
