Package: lvm10
Version: 1:1.0.7-4
Severity: normal

Hi,
If i create a dos partition table on a disk using fdisk, afterwards
erase it with dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hdf (as described in the manpage),
reboot (to make sure the kernel gets that there is no partition table
anymore) and then run pvcreate /dev/hdf on the device, pvcreate still
claims there is a partition table although there is none (verified with
hexdump) and refuses to create a pv making the disk unusable for lvm.
Regards,
 -- Guido

Kernel version is 2.4.21-rc1 in case that matters
