As Homer would say 'Doh!'. I am still having some other problems, but this error was fixed by mounting the logical volume and not the volume group. Wrong: mount -t ext3 /dev/sdd_vol2 /export/sdd_vol2 Correct: mount -t ext3 /dev/sdd_vol2/lv1 /export/sdd_vol2 I was still having problems with the scan message, but after I fixed that I didn't run the mounting scripts I mounted by hand and messed up.
