Hi, What release are you using? Anas Manuel.Laesser@telekurs.com wrote:

Hello,

I would like to create the following partitions on a hp dl 380:

- /boot (not part of LVM) - systemvg with - / - /var - /home - swap

With the help from Damien I got the following xml file. The first time I used it on the Server it completed successfully but now, if I want to reinstall the server I always got the message:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------ vgcreate -A n -s 4096k systemvg /dev/cciss/c0d0p5 vgcreate - - volume group "systemvg" already exists ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

How can I get rid of this message so that autoyast will use the whole diskspace and recreate all partitions? I already tried with tag "<use>all</use>" but I'm not shure if I put it in the right place. Does anyone have some experiences with lvm?

Thank you very much for your help.

Manuel
