I tried installing LVM using the installation program YAST provided by SuSE which offers facilities to create physical volume groups and logical volumes.
I succesfully created a PV consisting of 2 partitions:
sda1 ( 500MB)
sdc1 (4300MB)

When I tried to create a LV of any size (I tried 1MB up to the max. amount) YAST returned an error message:
error code: 95
"malloc ..."

Has anyone tried to use the LVM support in SuSE Linux 6.3? If yes, have you encountered similar problems or is this a problem with my hardware?

Best regards,
Peter Knott

No I had no such problems but my yast (not yast2) created a filesystem on the pv and the lv. Sounds funny for me.
