Oh I didn't notice that (I think it should be added to mtab and fstab) After investigating a bit further I think I found it: /etc/lvm/archive and /etc/lvm/backup are not existing so "/sbin/lvm.static vgscan --mknodes --ignorelockingfailure" complains about failing mkdir (because of read-only fs) So it seems the best thing would be to include /etc/lvm/archive and /etc/lvm/archive in the lvm rpm. changed the bug to component lvm2 thanks -- http://LinuxWiki.org/RonnyBuchmann
