Hi David,
did you check that your /dev entries are setup correctly?
The error returned by pv_get_size() makes me believe that there could be
something wrong.
In special they should look like:
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 22, 0 Mar 11 2000 /dev/hdc
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 22, 1 Mar 11 2000 /dev/hdc1
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 22, 10 Mar 11 2000 /dev/hdc10
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 22, 11 Mar 11 2000 /dev/hdc11
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 22, 12 Mar 11 2000 /dev/hdc12
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 22, 13 Mar 11 2000 /dev/hdc13
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 22, 14 Mar 11 2000 /dev/hdc14
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 22, 15 Mar 11 2000 /dev/hdc15
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 22, 2 Mar 11 2000 /dev/hdc2
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 22, 3 Mar 11 2000 /dev/hdc3
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 22, 4 Mar 11 2000 /dev/hdc4
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 22, 5 Mar 11 2000 /dev/hdc5
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 22, 6 Mar 11 2000 /dev/hdc6
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 22, 7 Mar 11 2000 /dev/hdc7
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 22, 8 Mar 11 2000 /dev/hdc8
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 22, 9 Mar 11 2000 /dev/hdc9
for /dev/hdc.
