[linux-lvm] trying to pvcreate

Wed Nov 7 07:47:02 UTC 2001

Fabiano,

the debug output shows a read error on /dev/hda3 which is strange if it is
a valid device.

In case you have a 2.96 gcc compiler, you might suffer from its optimizer flaws.
If so, please try to compile LVM without optimization by changing '-O2'
to '-O0' in LVMs configure script, regenerate and reinstall.

Regards,
Heinz    -- The LVM Guy --
