Subject: [linux-lvm] pvcreate on a loopback device - error: (newbie)
Date: Wed, 20 Sep 2006 14:27:35 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <ada605fb0609200427k5e86c7f5ueddcd47d00f0b14c@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Hello,
I had tried to do some test with LVM on a loopback device
follwing some tutorials on the web.
I get errors.
what I do is this:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/work/tmp/disk-image count=10240
mke2fs /work/tmp/disk-image
mount -o loop /work/tmp/disk-image /work/loop/ 78 14:23
pvcreate /dev/loop1
error:
Failed to wipe new metadata area
/dev/loop1: Format-specific setup of physical volume failed. Failed
to setup physical volume "/dev/loop1"
what did I do wrong ?
Regards,
John
