Hello Just bought two new 300 GB disks and wants to make a LVM. The new disks are on /dev/hdb and /dev/hdc - hda and hdd works as usual.
gate:~# dmesg | grep hdc ide1: BM-DMA at 0x08b8-0x08bf, BIOS settings: hdc:DMA, h hdc: Maxtor 7L300R0, ATA DISK drive hdc: max request size: 1024KiB hdc: 586114704 sectors (300090 MB) w/16384KiB Cache, CHS=364 hdc: cache flushes supported hdc: unknown partition table hdc: hdc1 gate:~# pvcreate /dev/hdc Device /dev/hdc not found. gate:~# pvcreate /dev/hdb Physical volume "/dev/hdb" successfully created The disks are identical. Furthermore I can actually do: gate:~# fdisk /dev/hdc and partition the disk. Any help appreciated.
