Hello List, I am currently trying to create a LVM Volume directly on the block device /dev/sdb.
My current Diskconfig looks like this: -------------------------------------------------- # DATAVG disk_config sdb disklabel:msdos disk_config lvm vg datavg sdb datavg-datalv /data 8G xfs rw -------------------------------------------------- I played around with many of the parameters like "always_format" and everything in the documentation that looked promising. Using the current Diskconfig file i always get this log lines: -------------------------------------------------- Starting setup-storage 1.7 Empty disk_config stanza for device /dev/sdb Using config file: /var/lib/fai/config/disk_config/DATADISK Error in task partition. Code: 710 Traceback: task_error task_partition task task_install task task_action task main -------------------------------------------------- When i try the remove the whole "disk_config sdb" part then setup-storage tries to resize the existing vg and is failing doing that. I am using fai version 4.3.1+deb8u1 out of the Debian Jessie repositories. Here is the main question, is it possible to create a pv directly on a block device without having a partition? Additional question where i failed before: Is it possible to do the same for the rootvg and boot from an "bootlv"? For the root disk i currently use one /boot partition and the rest in an LVM. Thanks! best regars, Stefan Schörghofer
