I've been trying to define a Logical Volume group on Debian 3.01 for the
last week with no success. The current problem is the following error out of
vgcreate:
vgcreate testvg /dev/dasd/0201/device
vgcreate -- ERROR "pv_read(): read" reading physical volumes
The pvcreate appeared to work:
pvcreate /dev/dasd/0201/device
pvcreate -- physical volume "/dev/dasd/0201/device"
successfully created
But the output from the pvdata command does not appear to be correct.
pvdata /dev/dasd/0201/device
PV Name /dev/dasd/0201/device
VG Name ������������������...��������������
PV Size 1.80 TB [3857049061 secs] / NOT usable
3.18 GB [LVM: 1.96 GB]
PV# 3857049061
PV Status available
Allocatable NO
Cur LV 3857049061
PE Size (KByte) 1928524530
Total PE 3857049061
Free PE 0
Allocated PE 3857049061
PV UUID ������-����-����-����-����-����-������
Take note the PV Size of 1.80 TB. The disk is a 3338 cylinder minidisk on a
3390-3 volume of an IBM SHARK.
The LVM is at release 1.0.4-4, and "devfs" is installed.
I have referenced the various how-to scripts at linuxvm.org, the IBM
Redbooks, and the LVM website. And I have searched the archives of both the
linux-390 list and LVM list.
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks in advance for any assistance,
Robert Hodge
