(Unnecessary to call wipefs twice there I presume.)

At the point of failure, what does 'ls -l /dev/dasda1' show?

Are there any udev 'watch' rules in place that could fire after the wipefs and be holding the device open and prevent pvcreate operating?


Please add -vvvv to the 'pvcreate' command (or enable logging in lvm.conf) then attach the new log information to obtain information about why lvm doesn't think it's there.
