[linux-lvm] [CVS LVM Mon Jan 29 16:18:57 EST 2001] Device /dev/hdc1 doesn't exist

I'm trying to get LVM going for the first, time.. I'm getting a few
errors, I've looked through the FAQs and can't find anything about these.

If this is a really stupid commonly found problem and it's just a stupid
luser doing it, please point me in the appropriate manual, otherwise,
any help would be appreciated.

[root at mordor /root]# vgscan -?

Logical Volume Manager 0.9
Heinz Mauelshagen, Sistina Software  13/11/2000  (IOP 10)

vgscan -- Volume Group Scan

Synopsis:
---------

vgscan
	[-d/--debug]
	[-h/-?/--help]
	[-v/--verbose]

[root at mordor /root]# vgscan -v
vgscan -- removing "/etc/lvmtab" and "/etc/lvmtab.d"
vgscan -- reading all physical volumes (this may take a while...)
vgscan -- no volume groups found

[root at mordor /root]# pvcreate -v /dev/hdc1
pvcreate -- locking logical volume manager
pvcreate -- checking physical volume name "/dev/hdc1"
pvcreate -- getting physical volume size
pvcreate -- device "/dev/hdc1" doesn't exist

[root at mordor /root]# fdisk /dev/hdc

The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 13328.
There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024,
and could in certain setups cause problems with:
1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO)
2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs
   (e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK)

Command (m for help): p

Disk /dev/hdc: 15 heads, 63 sectors, 13328 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 945 * 512 bytes
