[linux-lvm] EMC Question

[Darren Johnson <djohnson passalong com>]

This has probably been covered before, but I can't find a thread.  I 
apologize if it is indeed a duplicate.  I am running RedHat Enterprise 
Linux ES (v.3) and have several mounted emc "drives".

When I do a pvcreate, I get a "pvcreate -- invalid physical volume 
"/dev/emcpowerf1"".  Why do I get this error?  The partition type is 
0x8e and the drive is unmounted.

Thanks...

Darren
