Vfat


Hello guys,
I have a problem.
I'm trying to create a vfat fs.
But first of all I created a pv extend from +50.
When I try to do the pvcreate, it gives me error:
Device / dev/sda10 not found

What's wrong?

thank you very much

Not much to go on. Try a reboot.

If that Device / dev/sda10 not found is literal then there's a space after the leading /.
Do you have a /dev/sda10?

/dev/sda10 is very small:
Code:
Device     Start    End      Blocks Id System
/dev/sda10 94916608 94916658 25+    8e Linux LVM
pvcreate may not work on such small partitions so it might be "ignored by filtering" rather than "not found".

Yes you are right,
if I create a higher dimension, it works.
I asked this question, since redhat 6 examination, c'eara a question, which asked to create a pv with 50 extends.
Unfortunately I could not create it, surely I had misunderstood the question.

thanks
