[Bug 55743] Re: pvcreate doesn't work

[Marcel Offermans]

I had the same problem (not on amd64) that I could create physical
volumes with pvcreate but after that I could not create a logical
volume. It would reply with exactly that same error. Then I tried
pvdisplay -vv and saw that my partitions could also be addressed as
/dev/evms/...

I tried:
root at timewarp:~# pvcreate /dev/evms/sdb1 
  Physical volume "/dev/evms/sdb1" successfully created
root at timewarp:~# pvcreate /dev/evms/sda4 
  Physical volume "/dev/evms/sda4" successfully created
root at timewarp:~# vgcreate vg /dev/evms/sda4 /dev/evms/sdb1
  Volume group "vg" successfully created
