Hi, I just had an lvm problem that triggered softdog to reboot my box. I have a digital camera and a smartmeadia reader. Both the camera and the reader can appear as sbd and/or sda. Running a vgscan after I have inserted/mounted, unmounted/removed these devices can cause vgscan to loop, or worst yet, to stall the system (and trigger the watchdog code...). 1. Its obvious that vgscan needs better error checking/handling - once it gets an error it should stop trying the device. 2. It would be a good idea to be able to supply vgscan with a backlist. ie. under no circumstances should it look at sda or sdb on my box. Think of a box with a defective drive you cannot replace just yet... This is with 1.01-rc2 on 2.4.10 Comments? Ed Tomlinson
