hi!

host:~# mkfs -t ext3 /dev/sdb2
mke2fs 1.41.3 (12-Oct-2008)
Could not stat /dev/sdb2 --- No such file or directory

The device apparently does not exist; did you specify it correctly?


What is this error?

Success!
First created a section sdb2 and then sdb1, then the error climbs.
Please tell us why?

Hi,
don't know... do you use the partition for lvm before (without pvremove)??
