Hello,
I have a physical volume with no volume group.
# /sbin/pvscan -n WARNING: only considering physical volumes in no volume group PV /dev/sdg2 lvm2 [148.95 GB] Total: 1 [148.95 GB] / in use: 0 [0 ] / in no VG: 1 [148.95 GB]
Can I just create a volume group -- for example: # vgcreate my_volume_group /dev/sdg2
and then activate it:
# vgchange -a y my_volume_group
I don't wish to reformat it or otherwise lose data stored on the volume if possible.
Other suggestions?
Shawn
