Hello, I'm facing the following problem. I'm using a Debian system with a stock kernel 2.4.18 (lvm 1.0.1-rc4 LVM module, no patch applied) + lvm-tools 1.0.3 recompiled from source (not a debian package). I have my root filesystem on a first hard drive (hda) managed by the LVM. My disks are organised as follows: pvscan -- reading all physical volumes (this may take a while...) pvscan -- ACTIVE PV "/dev/hdc1" of VG "extractible" [55.89 GB / 45.89 GB free] pvscan -- ACTIVE PV "/dev/hda2" of VG "disk" [16.31 GB / 7.82 GB free] pvscan -- ACTIVE PV "/dev/hda4" of VG "disk" [1.65 GB / 1.65 GB free] pvscan -- total: 3 [73.87 GB] / in use: 3 [73.87 GB] / in no VG: 0 [0] Everything was working perfectly, until I had a new disk (hdc). I have created a single huge 60G partition, and I have created a new voluume group ("extractible"). I'm using an initrd at boot time created by lvmcreate_initrd. In the linuxrc script, there is a line calling vgscan. If I do NOT comment it, it fails with the following message: If I comment it, it still fails but with this new message: Any idea ? _______________________________________________ linux-lvm mailing list linux-lvm@sistina.com http://lists.sistina.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm read the LVM HOW-TO at http://www.sistina.com/lvm/Pages/howto.html
