I was unable to use a DRBD block device as a PV on an LVM-based system. See the following commands: debian1:~# pvcreate /dev/drbd0 Physical volume "/dev/drbd0" successfully created debian1:~# vgcreate replicated /dev/drbd0 Volume group "replicated" successfully created debian1:~# lvcreate --name foo --size 4G replicated device-mapper: reload ioctl failed: Invalid argument Aborting. Failed to activate new LV to wipe the start of it. debian1:~# tail /var/log/syslog -n 2 Jun 17 15:50:13 debian1 kernel: [ 2108.509080] device-mapper: table: 254:3: linear: dm-linear: Device lookup failed Jun 17 15:50:13 debian1 kernel: [ 2108.509086] device-mapper: ioctl: error adding target to table At this time there is no /dev/replicated VG. After I removed the DRBD block device and formatted it in ext3 to exclude any problem with the DRBD block device: debian1:~# vgremove replicated Volume group "replicated" successfully removed debian1:~# pvremove /dev/drbd0 Labels on physical volume "/dev/drbd0" successfully wiped debian1:~# mkfs.ext3 /dev/drbd0 [...] debian1:~# mount /dev/drbd0 /test --- System information. --- Architecture: amd64 Kernel: Linux 2.6.29-2-amd64 -- Laurent Léonard
