Things are getting better. I found 2 of the 3 lv's that were missing. I am trying to find the last one. All of the vg's and lv's were created under lvm 1.0.2. I am now using 1.1-rc2. If I type either: vgdisplay -v sdd_vol4 or vgdisplay -v sdd2_vol12 I get the same results, both for sdd2_vol12. That vg does not yet have a lv. I get the same results from different nodes (storage is fiber attached). Is there a maximum number of vg's that are supported? Is there a maximum length that a vg name can be? When I first configured the new disks I had some problems where trying to run vgdisplay on the volumes named 'sdd_vol1?' I would only get the results for sdd_vol1. Is there an 8 character max built in?
