[linux-lvm] vgcreate doesn't work for me

[Heinz J. Mauelshagen]

Arkadiusz,

in order to be able to investigate your problem better,
could you provide the following output please:

$ fdisk -l /dev/hdd

$ pvdisplay /dev/hdd[1-3]

$ vgcreate -d test /dev/hdd[1-3]


Warning: if you create a VG containing PVs in multiple partitions of the
         same disk, you will likely run into trouble if you want to
         test striped LVs.

Regards,
Heinz    -- The LVM Guy --
