They are orphans, meaning not in a volume group, so they can't be allocatable. (Space is always allocated out of a volume group.) You probably want to vgextend vg /dev/sda[89] /dev/sda1[0-4] before your pvchange command. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy -- [email protected] mailing list
