[Gllug] Removing LVM (RHEL4)

[Peter Childs]

On the topic of LVM I'm trying to use some spare space on my LVM (I've
got about 84GB unused currently) But unforinally lvcreate does not
work.

sudo lvcreate -L 80G -n company main
Password:
lvcreate -- ERROR "pv_status_all_pv_of_vg(): no PV" getting status of
volume group "main" from kernel

I think its because lvm thinks I'm using devfs which I'm not. So I'm
guessing I need to reboot with devfs switched on and then use lvcreate
I can't just mount devfs as the error messages get even more silly!
(Like telling me I'm using the wrong version of lvm)
Anyway now where did I leave that error message....
Hense probably the main reason for not using LVM is that not using it
keeps things simple and  more fault tollerant.
