It's not bad, I use it. It just takes a couple of tweaks. For one, the actual devices are in subdirs now. Like what was /dev/hda2 is now /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part2. So one needs to pass the devfs'ed name for the device to the lvmtools. :) -----Original Message----- From: linux-lvm-admin@sistina.com [mailto:linux-lvm-admin@sistina.com] On Behalf Of Daniel Gardner Sent: Sunday, September 08, 2002 7:51 AM To: linux-lvm@sistina.com Subject: Re: [linux-lvm] vgcreate -- no valid physical volumes in command line On Sunday 08 September 2002 3:47 pm, Glenn Shannon wrote: > Are you running DevFS by chance?
