Heinz, Thanks for your help, it worked. However, I do not understand why I had this problem and how your suggestion make it work. The logical volume number is managed by LVM functions. Another question is I have the same problem as mentioned in "Poul Petesen's LVM1.04 pvmove is broken" email today as 4) The RedHat 7.2 call to vgscan in rc.sysinit happens before mounting other file-systems, for example "/usr". This causes the 1.1-rc2 vgscan to fail since libreadline is in /usr/lib. I did not have this problem on LVM1.0.x. Now, I need to enable LVM and mount all of these volumes after system boot manually. Any suggestion or fixes? Thanks, Bo ----- Original Message ----- From: "Heinz J .
