I have my system configured with Redhat 7.3 with 2 80GB hard drives. I made a volume group using /dev/hdc and /dev/hda9. Everything worked fine, I copied data in there, put in the 'vgscan' and 'vgchange -a y' in the startup script and put 'vgchange -a n' into the shutdown script. However, when I reboot my machine, the data is lost :( I do a 'locate' on a file I know is in there and it finds it. However when I do a 'ls' in the directory, nothing shows up. What am I doing wrong here ??? _______________________________________________ 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
