pvcreate Device /dev/sdb excluded by a filter
When creating LVM physical volume with the command “pvcreate”, I got the following error
root@sok1 ~ # pvcreate /dev/sdb Device /dev/sdb excluded by a filter. root@sok1 ~ #
This disk was previously used as a software raid.
To fix the error message, run
wipefs -a /dev/sdX
Example
root@sok1 ~ # pvcreate /dev/sdb Device /dev/sdb excluded by a filter. root@sok1 ~ # wipefs -a /dev/sdb /dev/sdb: 8 bytes were erased at offset 0x00000200 (gpt): 45 46 49 20 50 41 52 54 /dev/sdb: 8 bytes were erased at offset 0xe8d7ffffe00 (gpt): 45 46 49 20 50 41 52 54 /dev/sdb: 2 bytes were erased at offset 0x000001fe (PMBR): 55 aa /dev/sdb: calling ioctl to re-read partition table: Success root@sok1 ~ # pvcreate /dev/sdb Physical volume "/dev/sdb" successfully created. root@sok1 ~ #
