Same problem without using LVM, grrrrrrrrrr. But no "error reading", obviously. I feel lost.

It looks suspiciously like a disk configuration issue here with the LVM volume groups. The system is trying to locate the disk labels on VolGroup00 and isn't finding them. Therefore it can't format the new filesystems since it doesn't know where they are. > Tryed with another hard disk, with no success. Can you try it WITHOUT using LVM just as a test and see how that goes? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens@vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - A squeegee, by any other name, wouldn't sound as funny. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- </tt> ************************************************************************ TURISMO PECOM Sistema de Gestión de Calidad Certificado ISO 9001:2000 Visite nuestra página WEB http://www.turismo-pecom.com.ar ************************************************************************ NOTA DE CONFIDENCIALIDAD Este mensaje (y sus anexos) es confidencial y puede contener información (i) de propiedad exclusiva de Turismo Pecom SACFI; o (ii) amparada por el secreto profesional.
