Partitioning/LVM

2 Jul 2002

      Hello,

i tryed to autoinstall two physical volumes, one on /dev/sda4 and one on 
/dev/sdb, with the same volume_group system. But it won't work. Following my 
partition section. The error message where "vgcreate -A n -s 4096k system 
/dev/system vgcreate -- ERROR can't create a new physical volumes on 
/dev/sda4".

Listing:

				</logical_volumes>
			</lvm_group>
		</lvm>

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
