As I said, I'm not sure if I am talking sense, but my impression is that "vchange -a y" will tell you what LVM volumes can be found, and make "available" any that are not already available. I found during a long saga preupgrading from F-9 to F-10 on a SCSI machine that for some reason my LVM partitions were not found at one point, and vgchange brought them to light. Actually, I have had a few problems with LVM during system upgrades, and have reluctantly decided to withdraw from the LVM world. The advantages are greatly outweighed by the disadvantages, in my case. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
