Good point, but I did this do to a section in the LVM Howto indicating that a whole disk PV (as apposed to a partition spanning a whole disk) was not recommended. The reasoning seems to be that other OS applications that aren't LVM aware will see the disk as unused and will potentially corrupt the LVM data.

You can also skip the first part and do:
# pvcreate /dev/sdb
You don't really need partitions. If you will use the entire disk for one single VG, then just use the entire disk :)

And if it turns out that there is a God, I don't believe that he is evil. The worst that can be said is that he's an underachiever. _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
