Hi,
on the second machine where I would like to create LVM volumes
I have the following problem
The ZIP drive and the CDROM drive are mapped to
hdd (hdc resp.) BUT due to a kernel parameter
hdc=ide-scsi hdd=ide-scsi
these are no more accessible as /dev/hdd /dev/hdc
Now pvcreate /dev/sdb1 works fine but
vgcreate home /dev/sdb1
produces error messages like
ide-scsi: hdd unsupported command in request queue (0)
....
and after some such messages
vgcreate -- ERROR "pv_read(): read" reading physical volumes.
AND the desired volume group on my scsi drive /dev/sdb1
is NOT created.
What can one do about this. How to tell the utilities
to never look at /dev/hd?
I am using lvm-1.0.2
Does this problem vanish with 2.0 ?
Many thanks for a hint,
