Thanks. This fixed the problem. BTW, after adding this line I still got the same error on my pvcreate but then I ran pvcreate -vvv and found that it was ignorning my /dev/rbd1 device because it had detected a partition signature (which I had added in an earlier attempt to work around this "ignored" issue).
I deleted the partion and the pvcreate worked on all my RBD devices. A basic recipe for creating an LVM volume is: for i in 1 2 3 do rbd create user1-home-lvm-p0$i --size 102400 rbd map user1-home-lvm-p0$i pvcreate user1-home-lvm-p0$i done vgcreate user1-home-vg \ /dev/rbd/rbd/user1-home-lvm-p01 \ /dev/rbd/rbd/user1-home-lvm-p02 \ /dev/rbd/rbd/user1-home-lvm-p03 lvcreate -nuser1-home-lv -l%100FREE user1-home-vg mkfs.ext4 /dev/user1-home-vg/user1-home-lv mount /dev/user1-home-vg/user1-home-lv /somewhere ~jpr On 09/24/2013 07:58 PM, Mandell Degerness wrote: > You need to add a line to /etc/lvm/lvm.conf: > > types = [ "rbd", 1024 ] > > It should be in the "devices" section of the file. > > On Tue, Sep 24, 2013 at 5:00 PM, John-Paul Robinson <j...@uab.edu> wrote: >> Hi, >> >> I'm exploring a configuration with multiple Ceph block devices used with >> LVM.
