Victor, It looks like you did your pvcreate on the disk, not the partition. Notice that the two good volumes have the partition number, the "bad" volume does not.
pvscan -- ACTIVE PV "/dev/dasdg1" of VG "lvm1" [2.29 GB / 0 free] pvscan -- ACTIVE PV "/dev/dasdh1" of VG "lvm1" [2.29 GB / 80 MB free] pvscan -- inactive PV "/dev/dasdj" is in no VG [0] You might try putting a valid filesystem on /dev/dasdj and /dev/dasdk (ext2, whatever), then your pvscreate should look like pvcreate -v /dev/dasdj1 pvcreate -v /dev/dasdk1 ===== Jim Sibley Implementor of Linux on zSeries in the beautiful Silicon Valley "Computer are useless.They can only give answers."
