Can't create a logical volume, have no problems doing it on another rawhide box. Plenty of space, I've done this ++++ times and for some reason this box is just causing a problem. "permission denied"
Could this be a dieing HD? The box has 4x36GB scsi drives in it, in Raid0/lvm config.

The differences on the box that work don't work are following,
Works (x86_64/rawhide) # rpm -qa | grep lvm lvm2-2.01.08-1.0 <----- WHY 2? lvm2-2.01.08-2.1 system-config-lvm-0.9.32-1.0 # rpm -qa | grep e2fsprogs e2fsprogs-devel-1.37-4 e2fsprogs-1.37-4.x86_64 e2fsprogs-1.37-4.i386
Doesn't work (x86/Rawhide) # rpm -qa | grep lvm lvm2-2.01.08-2.1 system-config-lvm-0.9.32-1.0 # rpm -qa | grep e2fsprogs e2fsprogs-devel-1.37-4 e2fsprogs-1.37-4 Both box's are in a soft raid/lvm config, Not sure why the i386 box defaulted to VolGroup01 but shouldn't matter in any case.
Well, it looks like the problem is between mkfs and selinux. The box that works is set to
# sestatus SELinux status: disabled
While the one that doesn't work is running selinux, so is this a bug, can anyone else mkfs on selinux=1 box's? I haven't run into this before and I know I have other box's running selinux that i've created new fs on.
