[Devil-Linux-discuss] Hard disk use

[Bjorn <w23...@ya...>]

Hi,

I've just installed Devil-Linux on an old pentium machine to be used as
(among other things) a backup server with FTP, Samba and maybe later
Apache and mail. 

I have a 200GB disk in the computer. The hard drive is partitioned as
follows: /dev/hda1 - 250MB to hold the devil-linux cd-iso.
/dev/hda2 - 20MB for the configuration media.
/dev/hda3 - The rest of the disk to be used to store data.

The installation completed fine, I can boot the system and everything
works. However, when I try to create logical volumes i run into
problems. I want to 'partition' /dev/hda3 and here is how I do it (from
chapter 5 in documentation):

pvcreate /dev/hda3
- Physical volume successfully created 

vgcreate -s 8M devil-linux /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part3
- No valid physical volumes in command line

I can never get 'vgcreate' to complete successfully. How am I suppose
to do this? I get the same result if I write /dev/hda3.

Thanks in advance for any help.
Regards,
Bjorn
