Re: Raw device questions... OR Tech support says we are wrong

Some LVMs require that the first part of any raw device be reserved for system control information. The original LVM that was developed by IBM was one of these. When HP developed their LVM, they placed the control information outside of the actual volumn (raw device). This means that the offset is not required on HP. Both of the answers are correct. HP does not require the offset, but some systems do. Hope this helps Madison Pruet
