Work-around: Start yast as "yast &", so that it runs in the background, and
leaves you with a command prompt. Activate and format the disks as normal, but
then drop back to your command prompt and, for each disk, enter the command
"fdasd -a /dev/dasd[abc...]". This will add a partition to the disk (the step
that Novell forgot to do for LVM). Once you have this done, go back to the GUI,
deactivate and then activate the disks, so that the partition table will be
read, and then proceed as normal. You shouldn't get the System error.
The basic problem is that the LVM set-up tries to use the partitioned disk
(such as /dev/dasdb1), but nothing has actually partitioned the disks prior to
that point.
This is now an open problem with Novell, as yet unresolved.

Subject: SLES 10 LVM problem
I'm attempting to create an LVM on SLES 10 (the recent GA DVD). I took
the following steps:
Activated 5 3390-9 devices
Formatted all 5 devices
Start LVM
Create volume group "system" with 4M Physical Extent size.
Add 5 physical volumes to group "system"
Add logical volume 'test' with size=max and format=ext2. I've tried 1
or 2 strips and the mount point of /nfs
When I click apply or finish, I receive the following:
Error - Failure occurred during the following action: Creating volume
group system. System error code was -4010.
I've created LVM's on SLES 9 with no problems. Anyone have this issue
on SLES 10?
Thanks,
