[linux-lvm] debian 2.4.2 / LVM .91beta6 / pvcreate device doe sn't exist ???

Hi,

Many Thanks for the reply!  Works now!

Slight neuron breakdown.  I had too many /dev/hdc's flying around and added
that "1" in there.

You have partitioned a partition ! 

You should run fdisk on /dev/hdc rather than /dev/hdc1 and set the partition
type of hdc1 to 8e. Then LVM should recognise it. I am assuming here that
hdc1
is the partition you want to use for LVM.

Be careful with fdisk - you can do a lot of damage if you don't know what
you
are doing.
