[linux-lvm] lvm/devfs bug?

[rich turner]

i dont completely agree with that because even when i use a kernel that
does not have devfs i still get the same symptoms. even though
/proc/partitions does not have a partition for a disk pvcreate still
complains that there is one. pvcreate must be looking someplace else or
there is a bug within lvm.

now, if i create a pv within a partition there are no complaints, lvm
will continue normally. it appears to only happen when i want to create
a pv on the entire disk.

why does pvcreate think there is a partition when there clearly isnt
one?
