Hello,

Quoted 2 lines · --- John DeFranco

Did you pvcreate the /dev/md2 first? Didn't indicate that below.

I didn't write that but I did, following the howto from http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO.
I couldn't solve the problem so I started a wipe of /dev/md2 to be sure the disk was clear. (this took quite some time on this slow machine)
I had to wait for that to finish so I could reboot to single user (init=/bin/sh) again.
Then things worked!
Pfew...... ;-)

Thanks,
Udo

A "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/md2 bs=1k count=1" could have done it as well :)
