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

 

[root@www videos]# fdisk -l
