[fixed] pvcreate: device not found
 
Hi,
i have created the following partitions in my hdb hard disk and i still have some free space:
Code:

  Device Boot      Start        End      Blocks  Id  System
/dev/hdb1              1      14590  117194143+  83  Linux
/dev/hdb2          14591      17629    24410767+  83  Linux
/dev/hdb3          17630      22493    39070080    5  Extended
/dev/hdb5          17630      18237    4883728+  83  Linux
/dev/hdb6          18238      18845    4883728+  83  Linux
/dev/hdb7          18846      19453    4883728+  83  Linux
/dev/hdb8          19454      20061    4883728+  83  Linux
/dev/hdb9          20062      20669    4883728+  83  Linux
/dev/hdb10          20670      21277    4883728+  83  Linux
/dev/hdb11          21278      21885    4883728+  83  Linux
/dev/hdb12          21886      22493    4883728+  83  Linux

Partitions 5,6,7,8 are part of 2 different volume groups. Now, i want to create a volume group for partition number 9,10:
Code:

vakhos:/# pvcreate /dev/hdb9
  Device /dev/hdb9 not found.
vakhos:/# pvcreate /dev/hdb10
  Device /dev/hdb10 not found.

What's the problem? Can these be the results of a bad superblock? Can i created a limited number of volume groups?
