I tried that, but it did not help. >/dev/sdd indeed has no partitions, the whole drive is a LUKS container. My best suggestion is to create a maximal primary partition as /dev/sdd1 and use that as your LUKS volume. That way, LVM will receive the partition details from udev and *might* not bother re-reading the partition table (but don't bet big bucks on it). - -- Regards, Dave [RLU #314465] ====================================================================== [email protected] (David W Noon) ====================================================================== -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.17 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAk4PF4oACgkQRQ2Fs59Psv/rLQCffhO28wgWhz/zE+FYwkgRlOfO 8xEAoJvn8soQYrXjiuyRxb5ue+rwUuTt =691b -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
