next time call the file "file1" or better "f1" - this is easier!

spelling problem, I guess.

Hope this helps!

Salm,

If there was data on that disk from before then it will warn you. If that disk is new or if you don't care if it gets blown away. then just recreate the disk using pvcreate.

sp,
Torsten.

2. try

Hope this helps!
