After installing an old server the following problem arose, arised, did arise?
whatever....

pvcreate /dev/sdb

 Cannot use /dev/sdb: device is a multipath component

# lsblk /dev/sdb

I don't know about no multipath? I'm sure as hell I don't have the money for
fancy hardware like that.... I'm sorry wilbur, i'll have to put you down...

# Flush the "multipath map" 🤷
# multipath -f 361866da0754031002d01ba551b507e2e

# vgcreate vg_ovirt /dev/sdb


  Cannot use /dev/sdb: device is partitioned
  Command requires all devices to be found.

Arrgh, I allready wiped the GPT partition. I'll bet my left testicle that there
still is some MBR stuff hiding in the first sector....

# fdisk --compatibility=dos /dev/sdb

Welcome to fdisk (util-linux 2.32.1).
Changes will remain in memory only, until you decide to write them.
Be careful before using the write command.
