1 Got my two 4TB drives installed. Now I need to get stuff off /dev/hda
2 so I can turn it into an LVM volumne. So I copied everything there to
3 the the 7.3TB LVM filesystem, then tried to create a new pv on
4 /dev/hda1. No joy. I get
5
6 Device /dev/hda1 not found (or ignored by filtering).
7
8 /dev/hda has only /dev/hda1 which takes all the space. The partition
9 type is 8e, Linux LVM. It's not mounted. I tried pvcreate -f. I
10 tried dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda1 count=1. What is pvcreate really
11 complaining about?
