最近想将服务器的本地硬盘通过LVM来灵活管理，具体问题如下：
[[email protected] ~]# pvcreate /dev/sdb
Device /dev/sdb not found (or ignored by filtering).
[[email protected] ~]# lsblk
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
nvme0n1 259:0 0 2.9T 0 disk
sda 8:0 0 744.1G 0 disk

└─sda2 8:2 0 739.1G 0 part

└─VolGroup-LogVol00 (dm-1) 253:1 0 260G 0 lvm [SWAP]
sdb 8:16 0 21.8T 0 disk
[[email protected] soft]# fdisk -l /dev/sdb

通过上面可以看到/dev/sdb默认添加了一个sdb1的磁盘分区，并且为GPT分区；在此不想
折腾GPT因为管理很不方便，通过一些资料可以做如下操作解决问题：
[[email protected] soft]# fdisk /dev/sdb

DOS partition table format can not be used on drives for volumes

switch off the mode (command ‘c‘) and change display units to
sectors (command ‘u‘).

通过上面可以看到删除其磁盘对应的分区，前提是没有数据（切记）
[[email protected] soft]# pvcreate /dev/sdb
Physical volume "/dev/sdb" successfully created
[[email protected] soft]# pvdisplay
"/dev/sdb" is a new physical volume of "21.83 TiB"
--- NEW Physical volume ---

创建PV成功，之后的管理可以用LVM灵活扩展了。
