A little more info. I just discovered pvdisplay in the lvm utility and here's what it says: lvm> pvdisplay --- Physical volume --- PV Name /dev/sda2 VG Name VolGroup00 PV Size 232.78 GB / not usable 0 Allocatable yes PE Size (KByte) 32768 Total PE 7449 Free PE 5 Allocated PE 7444 PV UUID DL5p6b-SHMB-8Q6a-ysSl-EX0B-hvgn-jCTcGD
so doesn't that mean /dev/sda2 IS assigned to VolGroup00? -mark Mark Seger wrote: > I hate to come across as a nag, but... > I just tried imaging a new system with RHEL4/Update4 on it (the update > was just released the other day).
