Hi guys, sorry for the pain i give... now i think i have it all...but i cannot mount this thing. [root@frodo mapper]# lvscan ACTIVE '/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00' [8,06 GB] inherit ACTIVE '/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01' [256,00 MB] inherit ACTIVE '/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol02' [16,97 GB] inherit [root@frodo mapper]# mount /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol02 /volume mount: You have to indicate the Filesystem-Type (sorry, translated from german) in fdisk, the type is 8e = Linux LVM, the disk is (somewhat) unformatted, if i format the disk, i loose it from the Volume Group, pvcreate destroys the ext3 format. Is there a special kind to mount /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol02 ?? Thanks, Roger Mit freundlichen Grüssen Roger Grosswiler ------------------------ mailto:roger@xxxxxxxx http://www.gwch.net
