lvm 1.0.1-rc4 and vgcreate error

Heins,

I'm sorry, I made a mistake when I was posting the message, what I did was pvcreate /dev/sda1 and /dev/sdb1.
Actually, I even pvcreated /dev/hda10 and /dev/hda11 and tryed do run vgcreate lvmdisk2 /dev/hda10 /dev/hda11 but the result was the same.

Regards,

Carlos

Carlos,

still strange, because the error you see is displayed if a magic identifier which gets written to the device once you run pvcreate can't be recognized afterwards.

In order to spot some more light on this, please send the following command output to me in personal email (please use actual LVM 1.0.1 available at www.sistina.com):

fdisk -l /dev/hda
pvcreate /dev/hda1[01]
pvscan
vgcreate -d lvmdisk /dev/hda1[01]
