Hello LVM-Gurus,
I would like to create a volume group based on an sofraid device
(/dev/md0). I know, there are many emails about this topic, but I think no
one has the solution for this. I have found some code-patches for older
versions of the lvm for fix this problem. But, what is the current state
in the new lvm-1.0.1-rc2 version.
The following things I have made before:
$ mkraid --realy-force /dev/md0
$ mkreiserfs /dev/md0
$ mount /dev/md0 /mnt
-> so I think, the raid device is ok
$ pvcreate /dev/md0
pvcreate -- device "/dev/md0" has a partition table
$ fdisk -l /dev/md0
Disk /dev/md0: 2 heads, 4 sectors, 2441880 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 8 * 512 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
$ uname -a
Linux lxclust1 2.4.9 #6 Mon Jan 3 19:52:54 CET 2000 i686 unknown
$ dmesg | grep -i lvm
LVM version 0.9.1_beta2 by Heinz Mauelshagen (18/01/2001)
lvm -- Driver successfully initialized
LVM-Version: 1.0.1-rc2 -> why is this an other version as reported
by kernel?
Does anyone know, how can I initialize the /dev/md0 device for te the lvm?
Thanks for your help,
