Replaced the scsi cable per suggestion and it appears to make no difference in that 'I/O error: dev 08:11, sector 0' is logged when running vgck. No "scsi:" errors were reported with this drive. > When does lvm create /dev/sdb1 (I only used /dev/sdb)? Still curios about this one as I did not create it and cfdisk does not seem to recognize the partition (just reports free space). How is this partition locatated in relation to the disc device? I get the above error if dd if=sdb1 but I would think the sector would be reachable via the the disc device also... perhaps there is something wrong with the device partition? Does lvm use the first sector? If not, could it just be bad data that is somehow read and therefor complained about and could be wiped? Should I create a partition and feed that to pvcreate instead of giving it the raw disk? Any input is greatly appreciated... /Allan -- Allan M. Wind email: allanwind mediaone net P.O.
