What happend ??? when a try search this device with autocomplete i Cant ?? :C


IS it posible the disc does not allow two o more partition type LVM.

thxz.

It complains "/dev/sdb2: stat failed: No such file or directory".

The first thing to do then is to "ls -l /dev/sdb2" (and even ls -l /dev/sdb*"). It may simply be that you don't have the special file of that name. This can occur if you just added the partition and and didn't reboot.

Have the device-files actually been created after you've run fdisk?
Try this: ls /dev/sdb*
Which distribution do you use? From what I remember udev should create the devices when after the partition-table is written, maybe you don't have udev (although you should have some strange or quite old distribution then).

Thxs men ... Thxs

I resolve the problem reboot my system.
