Cannot create LVM in antiX 17

[Member wean_irdeh]

after creating physical volume and volume group, I’m still unable to create LVM
here is the error message

$ sudo lvcreate -n antix.rootfs -L 5G vg0

/dev/vg0/antix.rootfs: not found: device not cleared
`Aborting. Failed to wipe start of new LV.

It turns out that the lvm is stored in
[code]/dev/mapper/*volume_group_name-logical_volume_name[/code] ,
in my case it is
[code]/dev/mapper/vg0-antix.rootfs[/code]

Now if only there is a way to make lvcreate aware that the lvm is stored in
[code]/dev/mapper/*volume_group_name-logical_volume_name[/code]
instead of
[code]/dev/volume-group-name/logical-volume-name[/code]

(I’m not an lvm user)

check the lvcreate manpage
Maybe you just need to pass the path via the –name option

-n, –name LogicalVolume{Name|Path}
The name for the new logical volume.
Without this option a default names of “lvol#” will be generated where # is the LVM internal number of the logical volume.
