1 I'm trying to setup a new Linux-server with an on board RAID-controller
2 (Promise PDC20265 FastTrak100 Lite/Ultra100). Now everything goes well until
3 I try to do a pvcreate on one of the raid-partitions, this is the output I
4 get:
5 # pvcreate /dev/mapper/pdc_edcfibbf4
6   Device /dev/mapper/pdc_edcfibbf4 not found.
7
8 But the device-file is there (along with the other partitions).
9
10 # ll /dev/mapper/pdc_edcfibbf*
11 brw-------  1 root root 253,  7 Nov  4 18:22 /dev/mapper/pdc_edcfibbf
12 brw-------  1 root root 253,  8 Nov  4 18:22 /dev/mapper/pdc_edcfibbf1
13 brw-------  1 root root 253,  9 Nov  4 18:22 /dev/mapper/pdc_edcfibbf2
14 brw-------  1 root root 253, 10 Nov  4 18:22 /dev/mapper/pdc_edcfibbf3
15 brw-------  1 root root 253, 11 Nov  4 18:22 /dev/mapper/pdc_edcfibbf4
16
17 and dmraid shows the raidgroup OK:
18 # dmraid -s
19 *** Active Set
20 name   : pdc_edcfibbf
21 size   : 160086465
22 stride : 128
23 type   : mirror
24 status : ok
25 subsets: 0
26 devs   : 2
27 spares : 0
28
29 Any suggestions on how I can solve this issue and move on with my
30 installation.
