trying to build a new server to replace one that failed.
root at lydia:~# pvcreate /dev/sdb1
Failed to write physical volume "/dev/sdb1"
sdb1 is a 500 GB raid five array (hardware raid array) I've been trying to
create logical volumes but I am really close to saying "to hell with LVM for the
seventh system in a row" and using ordinary partitions. unfortunately, the
snapshot and ability to move a partition is valuable in in this situation so, I
need to somehow get LVM to work. First I need to do is get past the failure
above. Yes, I have created a partition encompassing the entire 500 GB and I've
tried setting and not setting the label to be LVM but it always fails a right at
the very start.
Assistance would be appreciated. don't e-mail directly because the machine that
broke was my antispam Gateway (ouch) and that only have access through Gmane.
