problems with two identical hdd's in fcr4 - znx - 2005-09-14


ok .. so lets just blank the partition info on the disk..

 



Code:
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hdb bs=512 count=1




 

Careful with the of= ;)

 

Then continue with fdisk to recreate partition info, then step in at the pvcreate step

 



Code:
# fdisk /dev/hdb
n
p
1
<enter>
<enter>
t
1
8e
w




 

(thats from memory :))

ok did what znx told me and now /dev/hdb/ is just one blank partition

 



Code:
fdisk /dev/hdb   then   n  p  1  accept defaults




 

so it now looks like
