Hi, I am using SUSE 9.1 with the latest updates on AMD 64 / ASUS SK8V. I have two large SATA drives; my install worked OK after I stopped trying to use LVM or the XFS file system during install. I have run the updates, assuming that both LVM and XFS should be working, now. I want two use software RAID0 on two identical, large, remaining partitions (one on each drive) with a combined ~350GB. 1. LVM in YAST allows me to add the physical volumes (using 8M) and define a logical volume and group. At the same time, I am trying to define formatting with XFS. When I proceed, echo y | /sbin/pvcreate –ff –M2 /dev/hda5 tells me: "/dev/hda5: Couldn't find device". What's the problem? (hda5 is the first of the two LVM partitions). 2. Could I use software RAID 0 instead, without LVM, for such a large combined partition? Thanks, - D.
