Are your partitions LVM = or something else? If it=E2=80=99s not LVM then you can use GParted to re-c= onfigure your LV configuration.

Subject: Format the harddrive

Hi,

 

I am installing Hadoop o= n some systems. For this I want to format the hard drive for any previous R= AID format or any kind of data. I am facing this problem that when I instal= l Redhat 6.2 on these systems it creates a logical volume on the disk and does not let me create ext4 partitions on= them. Any idea how do I format all the disk.
