Sorry to repeat, but I've had no response and am dead in the water. Anyone had a similar problem or have advice on how to reolve this? # lvcreate -d -l1 -n testlv1 uservg ... <1> lv_create_node -- LEAVING with ret: 0 <1> lvm_error -- CALLED with: 6 <1> lvm_error -- LEAVING with: "No such device or address" lvcreate -- ERROR "No such device or address" opening "/dev/uservg/testlv1" After running this command, the node /dev/uservg/testlv1 was created in the directory but vgdisplay -v still shows there are no LVs in uservg. Tried this on different VGs, using different PE sizes, lvnames, etc with same results.
