The problem is that the LVM Filter is not set properly. I do not know why, but LVM can only access the /dev/evms/* and /dev/mapper/* device nodes, not the /dev/* or /dev/disk/* files.
---<snip>---- # /etc/lvm.conf [...] filter = [ "r|/dev/cdrom|", "r|/dev/disk/*|" ] [...] ---<snap>--- Then i was able to use /dev/evms/sd* as a physical volume. -- Can create physical volumes, but not volume groups https://launchpad.net/bugs/57960 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
