[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?
