This is caused by #223388. The function get_pvs of lvmcfg.sh invokes /usr/lib/partconf/find-partitions, however find-partition doesn't list all LVM partitions as being LVM but only those that do not contain any file system. Hence you can not use a partition with existing file system for phisical volume... > The other interesting thing is that when I entered the LVM > config menu, partman told me it would write its changes to disk, but > then it did not do anything (hmmm, maybe the first time I answered > this question with "no" (i.e. don't write changes), but I definitely > answered "yes" the second try. I belive that the changes were written, so I am simply reassinging this but to lvmcfg. Anton Zinoviev -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
